If you are watching the same thing that I am, I don't think I've ever seen the Iraqi people ever go up to one of Saddam's police or military members and put their arm around them for a picture like I'm seeing right now on TV happening with our troops. There is nothing that anyone can say about that now.
The protestors (nor the rest of us) will never fully fathom what it is like to have lived under an oppressive regime like the one Saddam put together. I can't even imagine what they must be feeling to finally know that Saddam is finished. But watching the scenes of of the Iraqi people celebrating is amazing. I guess they haven't heard that we are just there to steal their oil
The Eastern European countries countries like Poland, etc. knew, thats why they backed the removal of saddam.
I know all the bleating heart left wingers will say it was $$ or whatever, but those people were oppressed and only recently have been freed. They know whats up!
