Trying to delicately and skillfully solve their problems with Iraqi Sunnis, US soldiers ransack a major Sunni mosque. Arabic newspapers of Saturday are reporting some of the slogans chanted by Sunni worshippers after Friday prayers: they will not be reported in US newspapers. One of slogans runs: "Oh, Bush, you Satan." But pro-US occupation Kanan Makiya is still confident that eventually Iraqis will be welcoming US troops with "sweets and flowers." You see: it will take time. They are preparing the sweets: but they take a long time to make and bake. Just be patient, and his prediction will materialize.
