Are you suggesting that the Iraqi's are not pleased that SH has been
captured? CNN feels that it is a "monumental day in history", is it because
they are paid off by Halliburton Corp?

On my TV they show Iraqi's dancing in the streets all over Iraq.

Callin out, across the sand
Are you ready for a brand new beat?
Saddam's caught and the time is right
For dancin in the street

They're dancin down in Baghdad
and in old Takrit
Don't forget the Kuwait City
All we need are soldiers, soldiers,
There are soldiers everywhere
Better damn well dance
While we've got the chance
For Faux US TV.

It doesn't matter what you wear
But you better get out there.....

(This brief musical interlude sponsored by Halliburton Corp. We now return
you
to our regularly scheduled double handful of disaster) :-)

I suspect that most Iraqi's are very pleased that Saddam Hussein has been
captured.
My satiricial jab was in response to "dancing in the street". People behave
differently in front of TV camears and large numbers of heavily armed soldiers.
They aim to please.

Good thing SH is gone. But when watching the dancers, don't forget that the
jubilant crowd around the statue toppling last spring was later revealed to be
a staged-for-TV event.

Are you suggesting that *all* Iraqis are pleased that SH has been
captured? It's great that he has been captured, but there is still a long
road ahead.

Isn't it interesting? When CNN shows footage of a soldier who represents our
worst, laughing about what a gas it was to shoot someone, the Bush Borg crew
assumes it's staged or constructed. When CNN shows footage of people dancing
in the streets, the same Borg assume that it's accurate and totally
representative of the entire reality in Iraq.

I believe that they are quite pleased, at least SOME OF THEM, that
Saddam is gone. I also believe that they are quite displeased with the
fact that BushCo is occupying their country, and trying to tell them
what god to pray to, etc., etc. It's a damned shame that the
conservatives can't seem to grasp that their are cultural differences
in this world, and it isn't up to the U.S. to make every country bow
to God and Rush.
