Reply #38: It seems a pyrrhic victory, at best.

Plus, the Iraqis are more concerned about the continuing occupation- Saddam means little to them right now, in the dejected, angry state they're in.

The crowds in those pictures on TV you're seeing are not very large (plus, they're carrying USSR flags; what in the heck is THAT all about?!?)- probably the same "bought" handful of people used in that statue-toppling PR stunt. I see more populous crowds when they show pictures of the Iraqi protests against the US being there.

Yes, Saddam is an evil man. There are lots of 'em in this world.

I'm really tired of being manipulated by the conservative media to feel a certain way about something, when I don't feel that way in my heart. I get the impression that they're expecting us all to get really happy about this...but at what cost? Re-read my post above, and see if you can find a silver lining in THAT laundry list.
