At least some Iraqis get it; I wonder if most Americans do? Excerpts; link below; my emphasis.

"Many Sunnis and even some Shiite political parties dismissed President Bush's visit to Baghdad as an attempt to associate himself with positive developments in Iraq -- formation of the new government and last week's killing of the country's most feared terrorist."

"''This visit carries a lot of meanings, but this visit means nothing to the Iraqi street. There will never be any benefits from such a visit and the only one to benefit from this visit is Bush himself and his troops here, not the Iraqi people,'' said Hassan al-Robaie, a lawmaker loyal to al-Sadr.
