To present why Iraq has been so difficult (both the terrorists and its people, who are generally not thrilled about our influence), just close your eyes and imagine looking out through your living room window. You see the beautiful suburban trees, the neighbors dog barking across the street, and finally you see rumbling tanks with a foreign flag cheering "Victory" as they drive down your streets.
And that's just day one. Seeing this foreign flag holding a gun at every street corner, even though it may be for your "freedom," is still a very difficult situation to handle. And then, seeing this foreigner, whom you cannot understand, knock a few Iraqis to the ground because he felt threatened. Even seeing that just once, on *your* block, would change your outlook forever.
