Well the issue with a lot of the articles is that they illustrate individual good deeds, like a small group of people doing this, that or the other, saving these people, giving medical aid to those people. The sort of stuff that happens in every war that people propogandize to the world to show that just because the war is happening, there still is good. The US has a pretty red ass from this one, so they don't want to look like total shitheads for going over. That's what it's all about.
Kind of like how individual Germans were harbouring Jews in WWII, but were included in the blanket term of "Germans" as the bad guy. Same thing here: Iraqis view americans as an occupying force, despite the fact that there are lots of people who are doing things to help.
