They are so predictable.

"Why didn't he just give up to start with if this was all the resistance he could muster? Instead of wasting all those lives for nothing."

Get a clue, dummy. His people didn't like him very much. < /understatement of the day>

[Hildy]

It's hard to keep trying to help people who look the other way to the murder and torture of their own.

[Slyfox]

He is more like the head of a gang and not the president...

What are all the terrorists going to do now that their cash-daddy is caput?

[Steve_Seattle]

"Why didn't he just give up . . . instead of wasting all those lives for nothing?"

Because he's a brutal dictator concerned only about preserving his own power.

"How wonderful the world would be without Saddam and without Bush!"

If we waved a magic wand and got rid of both Saddam and Bush, we would wake up tomorrow with a brand new Saddam somewhere in the world. But there would be no Bush, and the world would sorely miss him.

That's why he has won, because no one opposes a strong person,"

Exactly. I could not care less if they love us as long as they fear us.

Arab Street now closed for renovations, apparently.

Adel in Beirut disagreed. "So he was the only Arab leader to stand up to the Americans. Look what happened, no one else will dare try that again."

Which makes it all worthwhile, IMHO.

[Ciexyz]

What a shock for these people -- another one bites the dust.

""It seemed that Iraqis were all with Saddam, now it looks like many didn't like him."

That says it all.

[TopQuark]

"Saddam is not an Arab champion. The war is practically over, did he win? No, and Iraq is destroyed," said Ayman Abdel Rahim, a Cairo butcher.

And he knows: one butcher always recognizes another.

"It's like a movie. I can't believe what I'm seeing," said Adel, a lawyer in Beirut. "Why didn't he just give up to start with if this was all the resistance he could muster? Instead of wasting all those lives for nothing."

Someone needs to send the above quote to Al Jazeera and all the Arab media. The Arab media are "co-conspirators" in the deaths of the innocents of Iraq, because they have been consistently telling lies, lies and more lies.

[Maceman]

"Maybe those destroying the statue are rebels against Saddam's rule," engineer Magdy Tawfiq said as he watched Saddam's statue being toppled by a U.S. tank.

Gee. Ya think?

[BunnySlippers]

"Why didn't he just give up to start with if this was all the resistance he could muster? Instead of wasting all those lives for nothing."

BINGO! The light goes on.

[N. Theknow]

Any and all Middle East countries have to be extremely concerned with what is taking place in Iraq. People are free for the first time in their lives. They will have a government more open, a society more affluent for every citizen, an unfettered liberty to speak, act and think which no other Middle Eastern country, except Israel, will have.

Immigrant Middle Easterners that have fled to other countries will still flee from places like Jordan, Iran and Syria, but they will no longer feel the need to flee Iraq. Indeed, Iraq may experience an influx of immigrants.

Regardless of what other countries try to say about Iraq, the word will spread like wildfire that it is the only country other than Israel where freedom is a reality.

Iran, Jordan, Syria, Libya, etc....be afraid. Be very afraid. Civil war may be just ahead in your futures.

I hope they finally realize that the arab media were constantly lying to them. How can they be so ignorant?

lost Baghdad to U.S.-led forces If this was a football game, Iraq would have lost 50,000,000 to zero.

Yeah, he really did so much to improve the Palestinians' situation. They're all free and safe and rich now. Actually, they could have been free and safe and rich several decades ago if they had simply left Israel alone and built their own state on the territory given them in 1948.
