Ah, yes...

"The sceens from Bhagdad are sufficient evidence of the morality and legallity of this war."

Uh, huh. The same scenes greeted the Nazis as their troops marched through the cities of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and the Ukraine in 1941. Thousands and thousands of cheering, flower-throwing civilians, delighted to be "liberated".

So...that is sufficient evidence of the morality and legality of Hitler's war on Russia, right, Gareth?

Ha! Ha! Ha! The people who are opposed to "liberation" do not cheer loudly (which makes them less noticeable)...and America is almost universally hated and despised in the 3rd World, as is the UK, at this point. Saddam is a temporary problem for those people. Imperialism is a longstanding problem they have faced before (when the British invaded and took Baghdad and the surrounding area), and can no doubt expect to face again...and again...and again.

The Romans used to be greeted in a similar fashion when they did their victory parades through conquered towns too, but the people who watched the legions tramp by were just waiting for the day when they could return the favour...in spades.

They hated Imperial Rome.
