Yahoo! News – Iraqi Man Demands End to U.S. Occupation

A member of the U.S.-picked governing council angrily denounced the American occupation in a eulogy for his slain brother before 400,000 Shiite mourners Tuesday, demanding U.S. troops leave Iraq (news – web sites) and blaming them for lax security that led to the revered cleric’s assassination.

So, I assume that U.S. troops would somehow have provided better security if they had left the country?
