Sort of looks like the under attended anti-war rallies right here in the good 'ol US of A, but...

aside from the fact that those are pathetically crappy images, consider this: If your city had been under heavy seige for two weeks straight, would YOU be thinking about venturing out into the heart of the chaos? mmm...probably not.   Is this person suggesting that the Iraqis that WERE there were paid shills?  This twisted angle on the story just blows...around here, we call it "in denial".

They drug that stupid head all around the city.  Where was the resistance?
