I don't have time to look, right now, Mick, but I am sure I've seen some comments here abhoring the brutalities of Saddam and his reign. Maybe I am just being hopeful. Maybe part of the reason folks are talking more about the US is because they feel that is something they can something about, something they have more control over changing? I don't know.

I do know the shrub started out saying he was going over there because of the WMD, then it progressed to getting Saddam, then his regime and now it is to liberate the people. I don't remember any mention of that until we actually got into the war and the daily rhetoric has been changing with the wind, it seems. I am NOT saying it is not a good thing to help the people to be free of someone like Saddam, just that our government needs to be very clear about what it is doing and why. As to liberating...there seem to be very mixed reports on that and the Iraqi people, too.

Thanks,
