I think the reaction of Iraqis varied by region.

Thanks for your insite, Dick, and how beautiful it truly is, and how proud it makes me to know that the United States soldier has consistently fought the good fight as evidenced by innocent children, who innately know who is the “good guy”.

I love to see links to some of these videos. Can you find them again?

The overt demonstativeness died down in Iraq as Al Quaeda-affiliated groups and the Sadrist militia replaced the disbanded Iraqi army as principal opponents there. But I was struck by much of the video I saw of fighting there even quite late in our involvement. When an American military foot patrol would be passing through and rebel bombs went off or rebel gunfire was heard, it was interesting to note that the reaction of any Iraqi children present was always to run to the nearest American soldier and shelter behind him. Small children have no politics, but they know who the good guys are.
