Saddam thanks his supporters
Pro-Saddam supporters came out in force recently marching in denunciation of America and Coalition of the Willing. Observers of protest viewed a sea of anti-American signs and heard chants spoken against President Bush with insinuations that he not Saddam is the true Hitler.
In fervent herd mentality, his supporters swarmed cities through out the world in praise of keeping Saddam right where he is.
With the completion of the rallies, it must have been sweet music to their ears as they heard Saddam speak in praise of them, his comrades in arms. And to Hollywood, they must cherish Saddams gratefulness, where would he be without their strong voice?
What has Saddam done to garner such a following? What characteristic does he embody that many desire him to continue his work? I am sure his supporters wish they had the ability to bottle his genius, knowing then our world would be so much safer.
Demonstrations increasing, one is left to contemplate recent history, in search of the name of any ideological group that has both resources and zeal to organize such a worldwide outpouring of anti-American venom.
I think simply hating America is enough, when you consider who his followers are. Aside from that, he's crazy as a loon and reality does not intervene in his statements, and of course, he has the sycophantic left-leaning press of all the world to help him.
