More Iraqis Tipping Off Security Forces

[farquar]

Omar Mohammed Abdullah, a 30-year-old college student in Samarra, said he'd had enough of the explosions that shattered windows and terrified children in his neighborhood. After the militants refused to take their fight outside of the city, he reported a group planting roadside bombs on his street in Samarra, where security forces broadcast the telephone numbers for hotlines over loudspeakers.


"Before, the people sympathized very much with the resistance. They were helping and encouraging them," Abdullah said. "Now, the people are hurting and are seeing no benefit in this. They started attacking the Iraqi forces because they want chaos to prevail." http://www.iraq.net/displayarticle6751.html

I like seeing articles like this one where the common sense over comes hate !!!


When town watch was first introduced some embrassed the Idea it as others felt it was an invasion of personal space ...

Well let me tell you it does clean up the neighborhood when good citizens stick together to get their neighborhoods back to the way they want it ..
A SAFE & Productive enviroment .. So their children can grow up with much better memories than death & destruction ..
Iraq Has its fair share of hostile groups .. but the people have to rise up and put their laws to work to stop the terror..Get the criminals anyway you can....

This wont stop the Insurgents ... just slow them down and make them keep looking over their shoulders and have them wondering who to trust & who will turn them in ...

When the terrorist have nowhere to hide then they will leave .. but not without putting up a struggle ...

It must be hard living / growing up in a war zone & I have no clue as to what they must feel ..I can only guess as to how much determination they must have for the Hope & desire to be free and to explore all the possibilities that life has to offer .

This is what happens When people think for themselves ;)

"I don't think I would have reported them if they were targeting only Americans," Abdullah said. "After all, this is an occupier."

I wonder how many people that pathetic reporter had to harass before somebody gave him that quote? This is not the attitude of any Iraqis I've met. In reality they like us and want us to stay.

Just the fact that Omar gave his name is huge. He stood up to the terrorist and then gave his name to a reporter. Sounds like a hero to me. We have communities in American where criminals get away with murder because people are afraid to testify.
