8. Ever wonder why they didn't overthrow him? Seriously.

The Iraqis have shown that they can give the mighty US military as hard a time as its had; so why did they put up with Saddam if they hated him him so badly? I am not being facetious. When the US invaded Iraq, the general population was armed. It was in all of the reports coming out of the conquest; it is an Iraqi tradition to fire guns into the air at celebrations. Also, Saddam appeared in public often - in crowds (Bush can't do that)! I really wonder sometimes just how badly the average Iraqi actually "hated" Saddam...
