Iraqis Are Naughty, Spoiled Brats Who Must Be Spanked
Iraqis Are Naughty, Spoiled Brats Who Must Be Spanked

Four Americans were killed in Fallujah on 31 March, just days after the First Anniversary of the most triumphant liberation in history. While Iraqis should’ve, in theory, still been popping corks and passin’ the Courvoisier in celebration of their year-young freedom, the residents of the nasty little city of Fallujah decided instead to lash out at their “oppressors” —four American civilian contractors.

The victims then had their burned bodies dragged, beaten, and hung by an angry—very angry—mob of Fallujahians.

2. We already killed a ten times as many women and children to avenge

US stoking unrest before festival, say Shia
By Patrick Cockburn in Sadr City, Baghdad
08 April 2004

"The Americans are just as bad as Saddam Hussein," said Hamid al-Ugily, the leader of six men from Sadr city carrying a green flag who are spending two to three days walking to Kerbala. "We think they will attack Muqtada in Najaf. We will defend our religious leaders."

What is menacing for the US is that all of the men marching to Kerbala, something they once did secretly under Saddam Hussein, are soldiers in the Iraqi Civil Defence Corps (ICDC). This paramilitary body, created by the Coalition Provisional Authority, is set to take over duties currently undertaken by the American soldiers.

Abbas, one of the marchers, said: "I have been in the ICDC one year and the Americans didn't do anything for Iraq." The friction between US soldiers and Iraqi Shias, some 15-16 million of the 25 million population, is becoming more intense by the day.

On another road into Baghdad another group of Shia pilgrims about a hundred strong from the town of Dejali were being detained and forced to sit on the ground by heavily armed US soldiers who were eyeing their green flags with suspicion.
