Heh, that's exactly how Rumsfeld et al. thought the Iraqi people would react to America after they had 'liberated' Iraq. Shower em with praise with little to no resistence.
Give it time. America will be there for a long time and we shall see how things turn out in the end. I am cautiously optimistic, you seem... well... just really optimistic. Wish I felt the same way.

Okay, I can agree that that may be
one of the reasons that leads to 'terrorism'. All i'm trying to say is that for some Iraqi's, seeing a bomb annihilate their house and whoever's inside might make them a little PO'ed at America. Maybe make them more inclinded to believe the 'radical religion' you speak of. Something along those lines. You know, someone thinks 'Yeah Saddam was a bad guy but now my house and so-and-so family member have been replaced by a crater. This is liberation?' type of thinking.
Not afraid to admit if some sort of scenario like that happened to me i'd really start reviewing whose side I was on...
