democracy, rule by the people - instead of by emperors and thugs...

You and Mr. Bush seem to have an awful high opinion of these people. I think their disgraceful actions of the last few days demonstrate that Iraqis--most of them anyway--are unfit for self-rule.

Obviously you never bothered to have a serious discussion with anyone who'd ever spent most of a lifetime inside a totalitarian dictatorship.

Time to get out, move around, find some folks - lots of them living in various parts of Indiana!

The Iraqi people are acting quite bravely. The secret police are not all gone away and combat persists here and there. Speaking out can still get you killed.

I think they are all quite ready for self-rule. Certainly they have all got to be tired of one-man rule.

I think there was a King in England that had the same opinion of us in the late 1700's....... BTW I'm of the opinion that if it was in that Museam and Saddam left it there.....it had zero value to anyone.

Stay Safe !!
