Re: If you're going to make the claim that the Baghdad suburb of cheering Iraqis was recreated by hollywood you should at least supply some minimal evidence to support your view.
Evidence, eh? You want "evidence"?? Here you're: the criminal pounding of Hotel Palestine in downtown Baghdad is all the evidence one needs to call the gleeful, liberated Baghdad a HOAX! Hotel Palestine was the HQ of all remaining independent reporters in Iraq and the Pentagon's decision to bomb it was a strong signal to these reporters... Well, I guess they got the message since they didn't spoil the "liberation of Baghdad" with conflicting newscasts. Besides, it doesn't take an expert in mass psychology to predict how things would play out in a third-world country when all the government brass is on the run and the capital city is in shambles.... What do you think would happen in, say, Brussels if US marines invaded Belgium? I can see the thousands of bums and unemployed, native Belgians and darkies alike, looting the stores and villas of the city's posh neighboroods... It's not a matter of a people unleashing its gratitude to "American liberators"... no, it's just the mundane, earthy reality of "rich and poor". Just cut off the main power plant of New York for, say, 48 hours and look what happens next --LOL. But then, you know damn well it could befall you too --in the land of the free, the home of the brave, the garden of the homeless-- as it did in 1992 during the LA riots:
