This graph is from the book you and I both haven't read: “Werwolf! The History of the National Socialist Guerrilla Movement, 1944-1946"

As you can see from the graph, attacks on Allied personnel never went above 11 per month. Granted, this was just one zone. So, being generous, we'll say 40 per month max for the 3 western zones.
Comparing that to the 10-20 attacks per day the coalition faces right now is ludicrous at best, revisionist history at worst.

Revisionist history? Where are you basing that claim? It took years to make Germany a nice decent place. So far we are not even a year into Iraq? And again, how many natives are in the attacks as opposed to forgeiners, including Al Queda? If you think that Al Queda is NOT moving into the Iraq theater, then you are gravley wrong. So dont take the attacks as proof that IRaqis dont want us there, take the peace in 99% of the nation as proof as proof that they are pleased with us.
Only the media takes Al Queda's attacks as proof of the Iraqis disatifsaction.
PS your graph shows that there were INDEED a lot of terrorist actions in the first 8 months of occupation. THanks for sharing. And WOW Germany became a nice place to live. Actually the Capitalist part did, the Communist part didnt untill it became capitalist, but thats another thread.
