This is the transcript.

This part in particular I found very telling, and it gave me hope, that the Iraqis appreciate the sacrifice on their behalf, and the significance of what is occurring there, even if many Americans do not :
    "The American government made the right decision," commented [student number] 2, "probably weren't prepared very well and made so many mistakes. That's true, but I don't think they're here to hurt us or to use us or to take advantage of us, and I think it's in America's best interest to make things work in Iraq."

    [CBS reporter HARRY SMITH: ] What's the most important thing they want people in the United States to understand about their lives? [The lives of people in Iraq]

    "I personally want to thank America for what it did to Iraq," replied [student] No. 2. "I want to thank every American who supported this war, and I know that even those who stood against it don't mean harm to us. But I want them to understand that what has been done is a good thing, indeed."

    Asked if they would leave Iraq if they could, five of the seven said, "Yes, immediately. Can't get out of here fast enough," Smith reports.

    But when asked if the United States should pull out now, says Smith, "Their voice was unanimous: 'No. America should finish what it started.'
    One even said, 'If you really want to see all-out civil war, America leaves, and that's what's gonna happen.' "
