The demonstration is on CNN right now. It's pretty fucking enormous. It's anti-occupation/US/Israel with some hezbollah banners as well.

Seriously. Those who know what benefits America has to offer isn't going to counter-protest.

Because they knew they'd get pwned and not reap the benefits .

The media is making it seem as if these people are speaking for all of Iraq, though.

Edit2: Meh, should work too hard on picking a fight!

A lot of people don't like the international policies and doublestandards of the USA, no one in their right mind would think all sensible people would like the USA.

I find it difficult to believe that these are the same exact people that voted their new democracy into office;

or, are these the fascists who have been threatening the politicians who have been elected to represent the people?

Current issues from wiki:
Iraqi politicians have been under significant threat by the various factions that have promoted violence as a political weapon. The ongoing violence in Iraq has been incited by an amalgam of religious extremists that believe an Islamic Caliphate should rule, old regime Sunnis that had ruled under Saddam that want back the power they had, and Iraqi nationalists that are fighting against what they view as a foreign occupation.

Current issues from wiki:
they didn't vote as much as they took a census

they voted strictly on religious and ethnic lines, and those figures are the ones i am talking about...i dont know what "proof" you want so you "believe"

If they're already chanting death to america, I think it's safe to say they're beyond saving.

If we started bombing terrorist rallies, terrorists would stop holding them, and their recruitment would slow.

I don't think people who don't care for us or our policies need saving.

There's a difference between not caring for our politics and calling for our destruction.

if we ever did that, even once, the entire country would go up in flames and 133,000 americans would be surronded by millions of armed militants instead of 5,000 who are already giving us more than we can handle

and BTW they'd meet below ground like Hezbollah/Hamas...etc

Yeah. That method has worked well in Iraq. I mean, we bombed the shit out of Saddam and terrorist Iraq, and now there's no more terrorists there. Recruitment has slowed...

This is the freedom we wanted them to have. No longer are they subject to the maniacal whims of a brutal dictator when it comes to following his hate-America-first policies. They're free to dislike us, our policies, etc, all on their own!
