Dispite what some people my say about the war, obviously the people of Iraq seemed to be, generally, thrilled: BAGHDAD, Iraq (April 9) - Saddam Hussein's rule over the capital has ended, U.S. commanders declared Wednesday, and jubilant crowds swarmed into the streets here, dancing, looting and cheering U.S. convoys. A Marine tank recovery vehicle helped residents topple a towering statue of Saddam in a sweeping, symbolic gesture. In the most visible sign of Saddam's evaporating power, the 40-foot statue of the Iraqi president was brought down in the middle of Firdos Square. Cheering Iraqis, some waving the national flag, scaled the statue and danced upon the downed icon, now lying face down. As it fell, some threw shoes and slippers at the statue - a gross insult in the Arab world. The scene was telecast worldwide. Later, the statue's head was dragged through Baghdad's streets with a noose wrapped around its neck; people alternately climbed aboard for a ride or pounded it with their shoes. Before the statue was pulled down, its head was briefly covered with an American flag by one Marine. ''I'm 49, but I never lived a single day,'' said Yusuf Abed Kazim, a Baghdad imam who pounded the statue's pedestal with a sledgehammer. ''Only now will I start living. That Saddam Hussein is a murderer and a criminal.'' |

"Baghdad falls; Iraqis celebrate" this is the headline of the article below. Some people on this board thought that iraqis hated americans. Obvuisly the majority are in favor of the coalition forces taking baghdad and ridding the country of saddam's oppressive regime. http://www.msnbc.com/news/870749.asp?0cv=CA01 |
