>> I don't get it. The smiles on the faces in Baghdad is proof that the rest of the world is wrong in this case. << first of all, why do you believe everything you see on tv? you see a handful of iraqis dancing in the streets and assume that means all iraqis are pleased the united states has occupied their country and taken down saddam's regime. don't be naive. the jewish-dominated press can show a few pictures and make you believe what they want you to believe. the press could just as easily show the arab world pictures of anti-war protestors in america roaming the streets and dupe the arabs into believing that americans are against the war. that wouldn't be true now would it? the majority of americans support the war and the president. but most of the people who support the war stay home. only the freaks who go beserk in the streets get the prominent coverage. now what makes you think that footage of a few iraqis (many of them kurds who have always hated saddam) dancing in the streets speak for the entire iraqi nation? perhaps there is an unspoken majority sitting at home, not being shown on tv, just like the americans who support the war but aren't shown roaming the streets. having said that, i think most iraqis are happy that saddam is history. however, as mr sabash pointed out with his example, happiness over saddam being gone doesn't necessarily translate into trust of american motives. >> Even people who were against the war cannot deny that this has been an outstanding success << i opposed the war and do not deny that it has been an outstanding military success. that does not necessarily make the victory a long-term strategic success.
