    Imagine. You live in a town where every single day somebody straps on a bomb and runs to the nearest crowded public spot and takes out anywhere from several people to a dozen or more. Insurgent extremists are walking around that look just like your next door neighbor, or they ARE your next door neighbor, and these people take lives with absolutely NO regard as to whose life they take, victims just happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Oh, except for US troops, now there's one predjuced target they will hit ANYTIME they think they can strike, then run and hide. Anywhere, at anytime about a forth of the people around you would just as soon snuff out your life to make a point, as someone else's life. Are you offended when a US military vehicle getting thru town honks, then bumps your car to get past? If you're one of those insurgent extremists, yeah, it probably adds to the fire of your hate for the US. If you're a regular Iraqi citizen with no extremist agenda, it might be slightly irritating, but it's the LEAST of your problems. These people live in chaos all the time anyway. You have to put it all into perspective...
