7. If this were a just war, like WWII, I would not mind this kind of thing...

...it's probably a morale thing for the troops- a victory mark or whatever...I know they used to do a lot of things like this in WWII...

Problem is,- this aint WWII, and these people are not ready for the foreign concept of a Republic/Democracy or the symbols of it...

I dont have a huge personal problem with this imagery- but I wonder if this kind of thing will been seen as "arrogant" by many Iraqis...

Besides, the symbolism is confusing- why do we want Old Glory right next to Saddam's face anyway???
