Iraqi Civilian Reaction So Far

Granted, it's still early, and misinformation is rampant. But here are a couple of stories with reactions from Iraqi civilians in areas we've taken control of so far.

From the Washington Post:


So far, however, there is no indication that the Iraqi population at large is resisting the allied forces. At Safwan, another town in the southeast, Iraqis waved in celebration as members of the 1st Marine Division hauled down giant portraits of Saddam Hussein.

"We're very happy. . . . Saddam Hussein is a butcher," said a man in the back of a pickup truck, identifying himself only as Abdullah. A woman fell at the feet of the Americans and embraced them, touching their knees, the Associated Press reported.


From MSNBC:



In the town of Safwan, Iraqi civilians eagerly greeted the 1st Marine Division.

One little boy, who had chocolate melted all over his face after a soldier gave him some treats from his ration kit, kept pointing at the sky, saying “Ameriki, Ameriki.”


Well, okay...this kid was bribed with chocolate. But you get the idea.
