One of the talk shows hear in Seattle (kiro570 maybe) had a frequent caller (an Iraqi that lives in Seattle) call up the day after Saddam was caught. He said "Today I will do something I have never done before on your show. I will say my last name." The host didn't notice that the caller over the months hadn't done so before.

So the caller says "my name is Mohammad "something", and now I can say my last name without fear. Saddam is gone, and I don't need to fear him. And now I have made arrangements to return to my country. I love America, but it is now time for me to help rebuild my country" (he's a lawyer).

He then gets very loud, and teary, and says "Thank you George Bush - America is the only country that could do this and you did it. Thank you to the four hundred soldiers that died. Now Iraq is free, and I can say my last name without fear".

He said a lot more and was very passionate. He ragged on the people against Bush and the war that didn't understand. It was hard to drive with all the tears in my eyes. It made me imagine what it would be like to be have to flee the U.S. and to be able to return to my own country and my homeland.

Some of his quotes are now used in the lead-ins to the show.

Mohmamed says his profound most sincere thank you.

*Mohammed says thank you, America*

*Mohammed says thank you*

Mohammad need not petition George Bush, who has lashed himself to the mast and will do what he can to give Iraqis a democratic republic. Mohammad needs to direct his voice at those who would nominate and elect a quisling Democrat.

Certainly it would be nice to be able to rid ourselves of slanderous and cynical voices such as al Jazzera, but that ain't gonna happen. The truth is, unfortunately, that freedom isn't freedom without the possibility of such voices--and that in fact such voices are naturally the loudest kind. The people who spend big bucks on publishing newspapers are the ones who can make big bucks doin it--and the rules they follow to do that are more cynical than they are conservative.

Don't be fooled by the fact that America calls its advocates of freedom "conservative"; freedom implies the possibility and inevitability of change. And likewise America calls its advocates of reduced freedom "progressive", which is likewise the opposite of the reality.

"Thank you George Bush - America is the only country that could do this and you did it. Thank you to the four hundred soldiers that died. Now Iraq is free, and I can say my last name without fear".

No this is all wrong, we should have waited for the UN to take action - NOT!
