Salon.com News | Anger against Iraqi insurgents grows: "March 4, 2005  |  Baghdad, Iraq -- As more people lose loved ones to the relentless violence, Iraqis are becoming increasingly angry at insurgents, even staging public demonstrations condemning militants.

While it is impossible to precisely gauge public opinion, it is clear many Iraqis have grown tired of two years of insecurity, and some are directing their wrath at those behind the bombings and attacks.

'I demand that they be put in the zoo along with the other scavengers, because that is where they belong,' said Bassam Yassin, who lost his brother to an insurgent attack in Mosul. He spoke Wednesday after relatives of victims protested outside a police station in that northern city."
