Jassim: and it results nothing
Jassim: while terrorists moving in streets and wearing civilian cloths the american just bomb all area by aircrafts !!!!!
Jassim: tell me how can an eiroplan can hit a terrorist ?
Karen: yes, that is the problem. The Americans don't know who the terrorists are, because they are disguised as civilians
Karen: And how can the Americans know?
Jassim: no Karen
Jassim: they are known !!
Karen: Some (a lot?) of Iraqis tell them who is bad. But how can the Americans know that the accused person is really a terrorist, and not just a personal enemy of the accuser?
Jassim: most of people in Iraq believes that american can resolv all this killing so easly but they don't want to do it, they seems that they are waiting for some thing
Karen: how do they think that Americans could be able to solve it easily?

Karen: can you give me names of these groups?
Jassim: they have no names
Jassim: just people doing killing all the time
Jassim: some times infront of americans !!! while americans do nothing
Jassim: this is what couldn't understand yet in americans
Karen: In America, we are told about the Americans capturing too many innocent people, so there was pressure to release captured Iraqis
Jassim: asking my self if it some kind of strategy
Jassim: this is another story
Jassim: it is a differant case
