OK.. There are two sides to the video - one is where there is reasonable "prudence" in not getting pinned down in traffic for safety reasons and prob endangering all traffic/people around em.
The flipside, and penalty of this conduct, is the perception of normal Iraqi people - ie a load of clueless idiot rednecks with an arrogance only the ignorant can possess, whether that is true or false in reality.
Since around 80% of the Iraqi population want the US out of Iraq primarily on the basis that US troops attract violence - it's overdue time they got the hell out since they have failed in almost all aspects, even before any "insurgency".
PS It may also curb the overload of biz for panel-beating in Iraq repair shops
