"BAGHDAD, Iraq, June 28 — After riding into Iraq on a wave of popular euphoria, American and British forces are unexpectedly finding themselves the brunt of criticism for everything that goes wrong these days."

Hmm, I wonder when the NYT reality of "riding into Iraq on a wave of popular euphoria" occurred and exactly how many nanoseconds it lasted.

AND it's just not the Iraqis who consider that the criticism of everything that goes wrong should blamed on the coalition.
I'm concerned less about anti-american sentiment in Iraq than I'm concerned about it in the NYT. Iraqis have good reasons to be clueless, but with the NYT, it's a matter of malice.
