Gustave,

"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"

You have a long way to go before you become a lawyer. Unsurprising to me you haven't the foggiest clue what constitutes evidence.

The Hotel Palestine took a single shot from a tank. It's not as yet clear what the circumstances were and it is very unfortunate that a journalist was killed, but I think you're stretching the fur if you think this constitutes evidence that Iraqi's are 100% relieved to be out from under Saddam Hussein's thumb. The shooting of a single round at the Hotel has nothing to do with how the Iraqi's are acting.

After thirty years of repression they are gleeful and the only reason you don't think so is because it conflicts with your deeply engrained beliefs that Americans are in cahoots with the "Zionists" and can't possibly have done a good thing for an Arab nation.

Well they have. I suggest you get used to it. By the way, in case you didn't know, there are quite a few Iraqi exiles that live in Dearborn, Michigan USA. If you like I can supply you with numerous articles of them parading in the streets of Dearborn. It made news on all the television stations here.

Again, I urge you to see that Doctor. There are many wonderful medications available that may help you to cope with recent events.

Gustave,

One other thing, in regards to your posting style. In this sentence of yours you said,

"I can see the thousands of bums and unemployed, native Belgians and darkies alike.."

Here in the States it is regarded as very insulting and demeaning to refer to minorities as "darkies". I'm sure this was not your intent, but your post could easily be misunderstood by some who read it.
