Even I have to admit that I'm glad to see Saddam gone. I just hope we're right about Iraq becoming a free democracy.

I thought for sure that, that statue was going to fall on that guy. I wouldn't say i was crying but i felt really good and likened it to being in prison since birth and then one day you're free to do what you want to do. I think the whole world should feel how good it is to be free.

I, too, was moved by the joy of the Iraqi people.
I'm not being sarcastic, either. I felt genuine elation at them expressing their freedom.

And what happens to animals that have been raised in captivity and then released into "freedom"? These people dont know how to live free, lucky for them america is there to teach them the "true" meaning of freedom...

Funny.. I've seen lots of footage of the Iraqis jumping up and down cheering Saddam. Now Saddam's gone, and the most powerful military in the world is occupying Iraq. Cheering freedom or appeasing the new occupying forces out of fear for their lives? Not that I think they should be fearing for their lives at all, I'm just wondering what they're actually thinking.. It's hard to know not being them, so I wouldn't be so quick to pretend to know the motivation behind their actions.

Yeah, big surprise they "seem" happy. Such a reaction would occur no matter what.....its called survival instinct. Saddams regime is of little consequence, either america will control iraq, or another dictator shall rise to power.

Excellent point Dog. I've seen far wilder and more joyful crowds cheering Saddam than anything for the americans.
