Why anti-US fighting grows in Iraq

BAGHDAD – A full-page notice in the Baghdad daily Al Sabah carries good news for thousands of former civilian employees - many now unemployed - of Saddam Hussein's ousted regime. They will be able to collect three months' salary as a kind of back pay.
But the ad also includes a long list of the excluded: Saddam's close aides, his Republican Guard and Fedayeen, but also the many other thousands of Iraqis who occupied top bureaucratic levels of the once-ubiquitous Baath Party, and employees of the Mukhabarat, or intelligence service.

Excluding the top pillars and enforcers of the despised regime from compensation for work that perpetuated Hussein's rule makes sense. But as attacks against the US military and American civilian authorities increase - in number, accuracy, and deadliness - some observers here say the salary measure is just one more step that risks swelling the ranks of Iraqis who are turning to resistance against the American occupation.

Who makes up the resistance and why it is strengthening - with attacks two nights in a row this week on the American civilian authority's fortress compound in central Baghdad - are queries with answers that remain to a large extent murky and conjectural.

Who makes up the resistance and why it is strengthening

Ummm, IRAQIS and some foreign fighters make up the resistance, and it's strengthening because THE USA IS OCCUPYING THEIR F*CKING NATION

Any other questions submerged in conjectural and murky mysteries I can answer?
