It would be nice to expect that they would be grateful that for the first time in MANY years, they are free to be able to go to their sacred places ....without fighting. It would also be nice to expect there might be a bit of gratitude to those who helped make that possible. That will come...but only after they get a deep sense of freedom and independence. Presently Iraqis are living without electricity, running water, police protection and without jobs, incomes and a means to provide for their families, and The school system is not yet functioning. The trappings of freedom as we have in the USA are not yet apparent. I have said before real freedom begins at the lowest level not the highest. One could argue that Saddam lived free but certainly not the people. The Iraqis will begin to feel liberated when they have an opportunity to work for a better life for their family. They are not there yet. IF you had no job, no money, no electricity, no ready source of food, no municipal water, no school for your kids....would you be celebrating freedom? Would you be looking for people to thank? Would you be grateful? uw
