Iraq grows weary of U.S. interference
Published:
Thursday, June 19, 2003
In the past week there have been three large-scale U.S. military operations in Iraq: a roundup of some 400 people in towns along the Tigris River to the north, an attack in which more than 80 suspected anti-American fighters were killed outside the western town of Rawah and a raid on Fallujah early Sunday that brought more than 1,000 soldiers to town, looking through homes for weapons and militant leaders. During the past few days, the U.S. military also has set up checkpoints on roads in and around Baghdad to check for weapons.
Many Iraqis said it was beyond belief that Americans would enter houses or stop cars and take assault rifles without paying for them.
The harder the Americans press, many Iraqis said, the more enemies they make.
