ABCNews: Doubts and Questions, Iraq welcomes turn to anger
They were unforgettable images: Residents of this southern Iraqi town openly welcoming coalition forces. They danced in the streets as a picture of Saddam Hussein was torn down.
That was yesterday.
Traveling unescorted into Safwan today, I got a far different picture. Rather than affection and appreciation, I saw a lot of hostility toward the coalition forces, the United States and President Bush.
Some were even directed towards the media. (It was the first time I heard somebody refer to me as a "Satan.")
And more on the reaction of the Iraqi's. And these are the "friendly arabs."
