10,000 grateful Iraqis give thanks to their liberators

"NAJAF, Iraq (Reuters) - U.S. Marines fixed bayonets on Sunday to disperse an angry crowd of 10,000 Iraqi Shi'ites in the holy city of Najaf after tempers flared over rumors of U.S. harassment of a radical cleric.

Marchers dispersed after two hours but some of the Shi'ite cleric's supporters warned of an "uprising" in the city if the Americans failed to pull out within three days."

I recall being ridiculed by certain people when, before the start of the war, I suggested that the Iraqi people might not be as thankful for being, um, "liberated" as we assumed.
