So why aren't Iraqis rejoicing in the streets?

[Generic Other]

Why aren't they dancing in the streets praising Allah and America for "delivering" them from their tormentors?

1. Because they are afraid...

and not to mention under a curfew...

Democracy...bushista style...

6. More afraid of the good guys than of Saddam's evil sons?

How can that be?

Maybe because the available information we have about the crimes of these two men is as reliable as all the other intellingence provided to us by our own government?

I don't think most Americans can come up with any real evidence or specific crime these men committed, particularly against Americans. We believe what our government and media tells us about these two and their father.

It was not our place to execute them. It was the Iraqi people who should have determined what was just in this case.

Let's see if I can reconstruct our convoluted logic. Because Saudi Arabian terrorists hijacked American planes and killed our citizens, we are killing Saddam Hussein's sons and rapidly plunging Iraq into a new stone age. That kind of logic is why America is a third rate superpower.

2. Notice the gunfire in the streets of Baghdad...

included some tracer bullets? Also note that the coalition had banned guns. I wonder WHO was firing off the 'celebratory rounds'???

7. How do you tell the difference between shots fired

in celebration and those fired in anger?

I feel like I live in a town where all the inhabitants lynched someone in the town square while I was asleep.

3. Maybe the Iraqis

don't believe the U.S government either?

4. Geee...ya think?

5. Did the troops give the Iraqis their guns back in order to celebrate?

Will they take them back when the camera crews go home?
