I'm not sure where the Dowbrigade is getting it's information, but I believe it is quite skewed against what is being reported from people on the ground in country...

"Worse, we have lost the support of the people we have come to liberate. The scale of our destruction has been so awesome and indiscriminate that the rank and file, the teachers and bakers and washer-women, the millions of peace-loving people of Iraq, see us as an evil army of death and are increasingly willing to feed and hide the insurgents. As anyone who has tried to help an alcoholic or drug addict who hasn't hit bottom knows, saving someone who doesn't want to be saved is an impossible quagmire."

If they are peace-loving people, wouldn't they want to be saved?
