>Chris you can present the Nameless individulas with all the facts you want and it will never change their opinion. They just plain do not trust the U.S. I will even bet that if and when Iraq is owning and running their own oil wells in a democratic environment, they will still have nothing good to say about the U.S. involvement.

I agree. They have an opinion of the U.S., and no matter what the facts are, they are going to continue their rants. I just like to let them know that I am watching :-).
