I agree with DragonLich. While to us the murder of an aid worker is horrible, they don't see her as anything other than a Westerner trying to interfere in their country. I realize that the population is heterogenous and not every Iraqi would think this, but those who are still fighting obviously do. Why else would they continue to execute civilian workers from countries other than the U. S.? They don't care who they're killing.
