As Iraqi youth see U.S. culture, many turn to nationalism

"Before the war, I didn't care about politics," said Monica Mohsin, 18, whose wealthy Christian family initially welcomed Saddam's ouster. "I could go to clubs and parties. Now, my life is within four walls because my parents are too scared to let me go out. I swear, I never rejected Americans until they came to Iraq and opened a wide door for thieves and terrorists."

So much for "liberation", American style.

Operation Iraqi Liberation = O.I.L.
