BAGHDAD, Iraq (Reuters) - Some Iraqis were happy President Bush came to their country Thursday, others wished he had gone to hell instead. <snip>

The aggressive tactics have angered many ordinary Iraqis and led some to compare Bush to imperial invaders of old. "To hell with Bush. He is another Mongol in a line of invaders who have destroyed Iraq," said Mohammed al-Jubouri.

Iraqis waiting for hours to fill up with gasoline in the center of Baghdad said Bush was not liked at all. "Look at what we have to go through. Our living conditions have become deplorable. The U.S. situation in Iraq will only become worse if things do not improve," said one taxi driver. "Bush has zero popularity here"

2. This is what may matter more in Bush's visit.

Obviously the troops appreciate the visit but what of the Iraqi citizens? If our troops are still dying and the situation in Iraq hasn't changed a year from now Bush's visit today will be long forgotten.
