It's healthy to review those when we're all hiding under our beds about what's going on in Iraq right now. I wonder what percentage of the Irakians one often sees in pictures standing around a burning humvee are like the punks from the housing projects north of Paris that I saw standing around overturned burning cars one time that I was in Paris and found myself in the middle of some rioting that was going on. [I would have stayed home had I realized there was going to be a "student parade" that day since I know how those things can turn out.] A lot of this stuff reflects a chance to get away with stuff that was impossible when Saddam was running things, and will be impossible again once a real police force and government is in place. You have to factor out these people from the hard core demagogues looking to seize power (which they won't know what to do with if they ever get it.)
