FALLUJAH, Iraq - Hundreds of U.S. and Iraqi troops in tanks, trucks and other vehicles surrounded the turbulent city of Fallujah on Monday ahead of a major operation against insurgents blamed for the grisly slayings of four American security contractors last week.
U.S. commanders have been vowing a massive response to pacify Fallujah, one of the most violent cities in the Sunni Triangle, the heartland of the anti-U.S. insurgency north and west of Baghdad.

Right, because they couldn't possibly ever have a valid point, because the USA has never done anything to another country or people that would make them want to dislike us...
It isn't about changing their minds, it is about understanding WHY they dislike us and trying harder to work together in the future.

It is on page thirty three of the GW Bush dictionary of the English language.
Shhhh...dont tell anyone I have a copy. They will want to know where I got it, and I would have to admit that I helped write it.

Analysis: Bush flipflops on Iraq crisis.
>"To some degree, it can be argued that these flip flops represent a long overdue and welcome concession to reality by an administration that in its Iraq policy had previously had never exhibited any. Wars are not won through fearlessly jutting one's jaw out and refusing to acknowledge messy, complex and rapidly changing realities. They are only lost that way. Often, the most important function of stirring rhetoric in war is precisely the opposite: to mask otherwise embarrassing but absolutely essential changes in policy demanded by the dynamic of unanticipated and rapidly changing events.
Additionally, needlessly further antagonizing the rapidly growing Sunni and Shiite guerrilla forces in Iraq is the most dangerous mistake U.S. senior officials can make at this point in time.
Administration officials have already made a series of bad miscalculations. They did not believe cracking down on Sadr would hugely boost his popularity among the Shiites who make up 65 percent of Iraq's population. They did not believe a significant number of these Shiites would rise in revolt to support him. They did not believe the Shiite mainstream, or enough of them, would support these rebels. And they were confident that any Shiite rebellion would never win support from or make common cause with the Sunni guerrillas operating in central Iraq, especially in and around Fallujah. Every one of these assumptions has already proven wildly wrong.
Therefore, the pattern of U.S. flip-flops updates the old joke to say that the definition of an American realist in Iraq is a neo-conservative who has been mugged by reality. "<

This is what you don't seem to understand. It is not *always* our fault when someone doesn't like us. Liberals seem to have such guilt complexes...
