<< Personally, I think these demonstrators were part of Saddam's loyalist factions, who still see an opportunity to subvert American credibility and exact some payback.>>> Leaders of the demonstrators would be those who did have a job, a position, under Saddam. The had the guns, the meetings with Saddams flunklies who showed up in town. The only position in life for a youngster to look forward to, until a month ago, was as a Saddam supporter and a hope to move up in the world by backing him. So we have some verbal local leaders who lost their jobs and cannot picture what to do next, but still have a bit of respect from youngsters What to do about it? . The leaders are probably not going to get a position in the new government (hopefully) - they were following the distorted vision of the man Saddam, not a government as such, and would see no reason , except pay, to be loyal to an elected official. If the Iraq government was up and running they should be arrested. Until that day, we represent the government and should not tolerate gun-toting revolutionaries. Sig@shoot low.com
