This article posted on Boston is a article of great use for my upcoming paper. It explains how the U.S has been involved in Iraq for twenty years so far. This article can be used to back up why Iraq's see the U.S in a negative light. For example, the U.S led sanctions on Iraq from 1990 to 2003 has estimated to have caused between 300,000 and 500,000 Iraqis deaths. Even though they were originally meant to punish the Government of Iraq it mostly hurt the citizens. Riverbend see's how Iraqi's feel towards the U.S while the U.S troops wonder why they aren't openly welcomed for coming in with tanks and military raids. In all, this article would be very useful as a source for historic Iraq dealings with the U.S
