New non-lethal weapon lets troops microwave people - burns skin

The United States has developed a non-lethal microwave weapon for use in Iraq.

Officials said the vehicle, termed Sheriff, would contain the Active Denial System. The system uses millimeter-wave electromagnetic energy that can be directed at targets at a range of 1 kilometer.
The ADS system would be downgraded for Iraqi deployment in urban areas, officials said. The ADS causes the skin to burn, causing the people to run away.

The Pentagon plans to install the non-lethal, high-powered microwave weapon on a military vehicle. The deployment of the first platforms in Iraq would take place in September 2005.

QUESTION: If Iraqis are happy about becoming a democracy, and only terrorist "insurgents" don't want us there, then why are they implementing a CROWD control weapon like this that burns peoples skin to make then docile? Are they getting mobs of only terrorist? I don't think so. So much misinformation about this war.. so much we don't know. I knew those fake pictures of happy Iraqis voting was BS.
