I said anti-GWB, anti-war specifically. would have to be pretty naive to think there wouldn't be celebration in the streets at that time. Agreed, Yet this either surprised Woodruff or she was highly irritated about them. It is worth noting that she is not alone, the NPR guy I heard had a similar reaction, which is documented several times here on SI. The issue is not that they could not report this specific instance, but the level of skepticism and discounting of such stories in their political coverage. Skepticism which they knew was not warranted. I commend you on your stand. There are only an exceedingly rare few that have looked past their dislike of GWB to form an opinion. Just to be clear, I do not think the humanitarian aspects alone, justify the war. However, my position is based is small part on personal connections with people whose stories I believed: Message 18823974 Message 18827942 Azad's position at the time was that the US should have taken out Saddam because in his words: "Nobody likes him".
