you are assuming that anything can endear us to the average iraqi citizen. and the less radical clerics? are you talking about the ones that have stepped forward to condemn the violence being perpetrated by non-iraqi arabs who you call insurgents? or the ones that haven't?
because if they aren't condemning them they are giving approval through their silence.
