And the opinions of a few Hautians matter because...

Pierre Lee Smith, a sophomore, said his roommate woke him up with the news of Saddam Hussein being captured by U.S. forces. "My roommate bust through the door all happy, doing cartwheels screaming 'We got the bastard. We got the bastard,'" Smith said. "After which, I went back to sleep."

I'm just too cool for school. Make sure you include my middle name in the attribution, please.

"There are celebrations everywhere in Kuwait," Al-Alawi said. "We were really excited. Even the Iraqi people are excited."
However, Al-Alawi said she doesn't think the destruction in Iraq was worth it to capture one man.

So you want the outcome (removing Saddam) without doing anything to achieve it? Should we of waited for sanctions to work? Pay attention honey: dictators don't care about their people. Sanctions only help them out as a) they eliminate the whiney people as they die from starvation and b) it only makes those loyal to him more loyal.

"It will finally bring an end to what we've been doing in the Middle East," Fisher said. Oh cont-rare this is just the beginning

Political science Professor Glenn Perry said: "I don't think this means anything to the Iraqi people because he was already out of power. He was hiding in a cellar."

SS. It is obvious that the students have a grasp on reality while the profssor is letting his ignorance, based on leftist views, shine through!

I will do a search on the left wing indoctrinator, and I know he will have a tie to the anti american, hate Bush crowd.

Cuz' like dude, I got really smashed last night and I think I got passed some bad weed and I like, got to get up in about 2 days for a test or something...

Ooh, just before Larry Bird got there!

Sausge - keep us posted on the search. The comments of these professors sound like DNC talking points.

My search came up with his signature to the " Do Not Bomb Iraq" letter here:

That's why they call them 'students' some learn, some don't.

It's funny how the most moronic statement came from a professor: Political science Professor Glenn Perry said: "I don't think this means anything to the Iraqi people because he was already out of power. He was hiding in a cellar."

Obviously the Iraqis reacted like it WAS a big deal and for good reason. He is no longer the 'monster in the closet' for Iraqis. They need fear him no more. Finally. Even out of power, there was the Iraqi fear that we would leave and saddam would return. this prof doesnt understand it, maybe he thinks we never should have toppled saddam and would be quite content to have saddam in power.

95% of Iraqis beg to differ.

"MER is excellent. I don't know of any other publication that so consistently and fearlessly tells the truth about the oppressive order in the Middle East that has long been based on an alliance between Washington, the Israelis, and the Arab client regimes."

You'll make it, you have gotten this far. I think there are worst places to be. Let me think....hmmmm, like a spider-hole in Iraq. Yeah, there are worst places.

However, Al-Alawi said she doesn't think the destruction in Iraq was worth it to capture one man.

Yeah, I don't think the destruction in Kuwait was worth annoying that one man either. We should have just let Saddam have Kuwait.
