While the post shows a somewhat fractured thought process it looks like maybe this person is beginning to see what the Democrat Party is all about. Hopefully he/she will come on the rest of the way and see sweet reason and clarity and how calming it can be to the soul.

After twenty years of brutal repression, maybe you've earned yourself a television and a couch.

You might get attacked for posting that, but thanks. I'd rather get accurate information.
I'm guessing that a lot of people are staying in their houses because they're still scared of Saddam, some are probably scared of our troops because they don't know what to expect, and some are probably anti-U.S. We can't expect the effect of decades of propaganda to disappear overnight.
But still, even if every Baghdadi isn't celibrating in the streets, its wonderful to see the people that are.

__...where women definately take a submissive role.__ You say that like it's a bad thing.
Depends on what you mean by 'submissive' and what side of that equation you are on.

Ah yes, just like the DUmmies that were glad the Soviet Union fell, but gave the credit to Gorbachev, not Reagan.

I seen this morning on MSNBC an Iraqi man on an open mike in the street yelling "thank you Mr. Bush, we love you, we love America, We love you Mr Bush"
It was totally awesome!!

The people in Newark and Watts were looting their neighbors and burning down their own houses.
These Iraqis are looting the buildings of their former government, reclaiming the wealth that should have been their's to begin with.
Sorry you can't see the distinction.

Yeah, I expected to come back to the computer and find that I had been attacked! Nice surprise. It is great to see how happy these people are, and i imagine you are right about many people being afraid to get too happy--yet! The Kurds in the north had a more jubilant and diverse --larger too- crowd. There was a big spontaneous parade, people sitting on the tops of their cars, or hanging out of the windows & sunroofs, including a little girl! They were waving branches and flags, & one had made a cardboard replica of a US plane and was "flying" it from his car. Pretty exciting and heartwarming. I just hope more and more join in all over the country!

I guess that means he can run twice more. I like your thinking! But shhhh, let's keep it under our hats until after the next election, so as not to scare any of the wild animals out there.

Male side. But my wife seriously enjoyed the book, "The submissive wife."
When the transmission submits to the power of the engine, the car performs much better for both of them.
