If the Shiites could only find his dead body... it would not be a pretty sight.

I wonder if they are doing it out of fear or jubilation.

They've been living under saddam for so long, and have been fed so much bs about us.

re: the man hitting Saddam's pic with his shoe...

This is apparently a huge insult, or punishment in Islam.

Ref: a Mulla's speech on 11/8/02:

"“I tell them to desist, otherwise I shall take out a procession next week and a Mirzai grave will be built at every chowk (road crossing) and these will be thrashed with shoes. We shall form the government, and when it is in place it will impose Islamic Sharia. We demanded this in 1974 (agitation) and we shall give the choice to Mirzais - “Recant or leave the country”."
