Who is blaming the U.S. for what Saddam did?

"After we have aired our grievances we remember the essential point: Saddam is gone," says Mohsen Saleh, a geologist in Baghdad. "A man who is cured of cancer does not complain about a common cold."

Many bad actions have good consequences but that doesn't make them right.

Nor does a handful of uninformed critics make a good action a bad one.

"Business is good," says Hashem Yassin, one florist. "In the past, we sold a lot of flowers for funerals and placement on tombs. Now we sell for weddings, birthday parties and gifts of friendship."

We'd need a whole lot more good news to approach anything resembling balance.

Thanks for posting this. I received an email of this article today from a friend who is an Assistant Division Commander for one of the divisions serving in Iraq. He sent it along with the comment:

this article reflects the reality that I see everyday

He went on to observe that we are losing the information war. The "we" that he refers to is the United States of America, and "we" are losing it to the usual crowd of America haters: The elite media, the Democrat Party, and don't forget, the French.

So what about the power in Baghdad? Are the repairs completed, and if so when? I didn't see any announcement.
