... nations wanted some of their money back but Iraq thought they were ingrates and were ungrateful for defending the Arab emirs from the Iranian Islamic fundamentalism.

Southren women in New Orleans despised the Yankee men that occupied their city. They spit on, cursed at, and even emptied their chamber pots on Yankee soldiers whenever they got the chance.
