Thank God Bush and Blair have the balls to nut up and get things done.  I mean look at the peopel of Iraq!!!  They look like they haven\'t been able to express themselves their entire lives.  So sad.  


This Mr. Clowd is what should make you cry......

How can you not be excited for these people who have been treated like animals for thirty years. Who can blame them for looting, it\'s all their stuff anyway.

I have particularly enjoyed the vids and stories of them looting. I would probably do the same. Even if I happened to be well off, just a way to get mine back from the suffering.

I hope this good feeling they have will live at least a little while.  They are going to have a very tough time ahead of them.

My thoughts exactly. I doubt the happiness will fade much since the biggest and basically the only problem they had is being nuetralized.

I just hope the countries that Iraq owes billions to will be able to hold off in collecting untill they have their health,education, and infrastructure in decent order.

Lets hope that they write off the amount they owe or at least half or reduce it.

Iraqi has and still is a 3rd world country, she need time to rebuild herself.

They should take the oil and divy it up between families, that way at all times, families have a constant income no matter what, communist a little, but to where they would still have to make a living by working.

how about all Families don\'t pay tax ?

i think it very important to note that the Iraqi people are well educated and hard working, all they need is a chance to get back on their feet and the country will be prosperous in no time.

the only reason why its a 3rd world country is due to that B@stard Saddam and his 25 years of bloody rule.

Bingo..thats why I think if done properly, they could be quite properous rather quickly.

If nothing else, Saddam went to great lengths as far as providing education to his ppl. And not just love saddam propaganda either

It may be just me, but I think Bush and Blair should get huge recognition for this. Even I was against the war a few months before it started but they stayed with it, now look. We liberated a whole nation and made 100,000+ people lives MUCH MUCH better.

Well their lives aren\'t much better yet, but hopefully in time they will be.

more like millions vivi...but at what cost???

Only the future will show.
