KR Washington Bureau | 11/12/2004 | Foreign fighters now reviled by Fallujah residents: "Once admired as comrades in an anti-American struggle, foreign fighters have become reviled as the reason U.S. missiles are flattening homes and turning Iraq's City of Mosques into a killing field. Their promises of protection were unfulfilled, angry residents said, with immigrant rebels moving on to other outposts and leaving besieged locals to face a superpower alone.
The fact that Iraqis are turning away from foreign terrorists, however, doesn't necessarily mean that they're turning toward the United States and Iraq's U.S.-backed interim government.
'We didn't want the occupation and we didn't want the terrorists, and now we have both,' said a Fallujah construction worker who gave his name as only Abu Ehab, 30. 'I didn't think the Arabs would be so vicious, and I never thought the Americans would be so unmerciful.'"
