I'm hoping the American troops resist the temptation to destroy the images of Saddam. I think it's important that the people do that - it's cathartic, and it helps them to cement this historic moment in the minds of the Iraqi children.
To: Howlin
Amazing. I got chills when I saw the video of people celebrating. Iraqis are overjoyed to be free, and peaceniks are misrerable. How f*cked up is that?

They don't exactly look like they're celebrating. The guy on the right may be starting a cautious raise-the-roof gesture, but he might just be doing his crab impression for the amusement of that soldier or Marine.

You know though, as I was going thru these pics and she started scrolling down, I thought someone had stuck the tongue wagger in. :')
To: Stultis
Great pix! Thanks for starting this thread.

I cried when I heard it today in the car.
And it's just going to get better.

Picture #28 really deserves a Pulitzer prize.
To: valkyrieanne
yeah. That one was the most impressive one to me too.

The largest challenge lies ahead when we attempt to bring these people into the 21st century. Patton said they were stuck in the 8th. Short buses?

Picture #28 really deserves a Pulitzer prize. I snagged this picture off Fox earlier and thought the same thing!

It's not f'ed up. More like people who are waking up from a 20 year nightmare. I bet they are thrilled to have someone come in and do something about it when they couldn't.
I know that the peacenik's are cryin, but I have a feeling that there's someone smilin' down on these poor souls.
I may not agree with whom they worship, but I am thrilled that they will now have the freedom to make that decision.

To arabs even showing the soles of your feet or shoes to someone is a serious insult. The greatest symbol of disrespect is to take off your shoe and them in the face with the sole:
A smiling Iraqi man beats a poster of President Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) with his shoe after a U.S. Marine (L) started to take the poster down in Safwan, southern Iraq (news - web sites), March 21, 2003. Safwan, a small border town, was clearly outside Saddam's control on Friday. Kuwaiti television showed Iraqis mingling cautiously with American soldiers, one of whom received a peck on the cheek from a local man. (NO SALES, NO AGENCY SALES) REUTERS/Reuters Television
