Saddam and his henchmen are not dropping the bombs on people who have no means to defend themselves....

You are free to stand up for the Romans. You are free to say those good-hearted kids shouldn't try to free the slaves, even if they must kill the henchmen in the process. You are even free to argue some of the slaves may die in the process.

You are free because of those kids.

An entire division of the Iraqi army, numbering 8,000 soldiers, surrendered to coalition forces in southern Iraq Friday, Pentagon officials said.

Iraq's 51st Infantry Division surrendered as coalition forces advanced toward Basra, Iraq's second largest city. The mechanized division had about 200 tanks before the war, according to independent analysts and U.S. officials.

The 51st was one of the better equipped and trained in Iraq's regular army forces and was the key division protecting Basra, a major transportation and oil shipment hub on the Shatt al-Arab waterway that leads to the Persian Gulf.
