Well the first incident happened because the troops were occupying a school, and the Iraqi wanted them to leave so the kids could goto school. We are occupying those peoples home and they are probably distrustful out of years of indocrination to fear and distrust the Americans.

The second incident was in protest of the first.

Lots of tension and passion about these issues.

About Saddam and protestors...The people of Iraq probably knew they would begunned down, jailed, and tortured if they demonstrated against Saddam so they did not.

Perhaps the Iraqi's thought the Americans would withdraw if they made a big enough scene, it has happened before in other places in Iraq. It probably never occured to any of them that the U.S. would fire into a crowd, but who knows?
