Iranians celebrate Saddam's capture
The Iranian Student Movement Up to the Minute Reports ^ | December 14,2003 | SMCCDI

Millions of Iranians, still remembering the Iraqi agression of 1980-88, celebrated Saddam's capture and thousands honked their cars' horns while many distributed pastries in the streets.

The long awaited expected news on the one who caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iranians and the destruction of several cities lead to public cheers and congratulations which were made in the streets or by phones with often allusions to what will always be the end of "tyrans and butchers".

Reports from the southern cities of Abadan and Khorramshahr, which were turned into gravel by the Iraqi soldiers, are stating about public gatherings and even collective dances that took place in many squares under the eyes of security forces staying affar and even showing signs of approval.

Several tracts were seen in Esfahan and Tehran giving the hope for a future Liberation of Iran and the end of the ruling regime "by joining its Iraqi model in the dust bin of history".

It was the Mullahs that Saddam was trying to take out in that war.Saddam was a socialist pan-arab,the sworn enemy of the Tehran mullahs and their Taliban neighbours.Remember that Osama and his mujahadin were the first to volunteer to fight against Saddam when he invaded Kuwait,but the Saudi's objected and lobbied the US to do the job instead.

It shows that President Bush's words are heard loud and clear.

N. Korea isn't far behind on the Axis of Evil list, either.
