...mistakes -- asking dumb questions, posting messages in the wrong place and generally behaving like boorish tourists. But because of a temporary bug in AOL's software, every message they wrote was duplicated eight times -- magnifying their errors and making the AOL folks sitting targets for locals already disposed to resent their presence...
What do the insurgents want?

Most of those who resent the United States do so not out of impatience at the American snubbing of diplomacy in the lead-up to the invasion of Iraq or out of distrust of the Bush administration, but rather out of frustration with the very generally perceived arrogance summed up so succinctly by two tourists drinking...
