The Arab Street Speaks Again, from Qalat Sukkar

They began to chant in English. "Stay! Stay! U.S.A.!" So reports the New York Times, regarding the arrival of the Marines in Qalat Sukkar, a city of about 45,000 in southern Iraq. If the New York Times can report such a story, can Al-Jazeera be far behind.
It's becoming quite apparent that Michael Moore, who insisted that his vacuous rant at the Oscars represented "most Americans" is not even representative of many Iraqis.
Incidentally, Moore refers to the liberation of Iraq as "colonization." Shouldn't he ask those Iraqi children the Marines liberated from Saddam's children's prison about colonization before he bloviates? Maybe their parents would like to speak up too.
