Gus, I imagine right about now you must feel like committing seppuku. Ain't life a bitch when your own deeply engrained political theories fail to match up with reality? Of course, this never had anything to do with the "judeao-fascist" crap you espouse. It had to do with taking out a dictator no less sadistic than Hitler and making certain that Hussein's chemical and biological weapons don't fall into the hands of terrorists. Be happy for the Iraqi people. For all the brutality they've suffered they deserve their moment of elation.

Yahoo news: (repost from a news group - a must read) Feeling betrayed and misled, some turned off their sets in disgust when jubilant crowds in Baghdad celebrated the arrival of U.S. troops. "We discovered that all what the (Iraqi) information minister was saying was all lies," said Ali Hassan, a government employee in Cairo, Egypt. "Now no one believes Al-Jazeera anymore." Tannous Basil, a 47-year-old cardiologist in Sidon, Lebanon, said Saddam's regime was a "dictatorship and had to go." "I don't like the idea of having the Americans here, but we asked for it," he said. "Why don't we see the Americans going to Finland, for example? They come here because our area is filled with dictatorships like Saddam's." Tarek al-Absi, a Yemeni university professor, was hopeful Saddam's end presaged more democracy in the region. "This is a message for the Arab regimes, and could be the beginning of transformation in the Arab region," al-Absi said. "Without the honest help of the Western nations, the reforms will not take place in these countries." ps local radio asked us texans to explain what is the friendship between nations - it is when american take a hand of israeli, israeli take a hand of arab, arab take a hand of russian and then we all together go and kick the sh** out of french and belgians <gggggg>
