"They probably have pictures with Saddam on one side and GW on the other and switch it around depending on whose troops are in town."

I highly doubt it. Saddam never gave them anything. Not even food. He pocketed all the oil money for himself, and kept the poor people in want. That's how things work in that part of the world. I've lived throughout Asia and that's how the countries live. They have to have slaves. I think they are just a bit worse in Iraq.

I didn't mean to imply that they have any affection for Saddam, merely that their support goes to whoever is in power at the moment. It's safer that way, and in the case of the Americans, it's a way to encourage the handouts to start.
