I was sitting in the bus today and the man next to me was reading "The Daily News" ( a New York newspaper). He was reading the Editorials and i happen to come upon a very interesting question asked by one of the readers in the editorials. I will try to put down the question as best as i can remeber; "While i was watching Saddamn Hussein's statue fall in Baghdad yesterday the first thing that crossed my mind was Where are all the anti war protesters now?" A interesting question indeed, any thoughts you guys might have on the question????? or possible answers?????
I guess they never imagined the happiness Iraquy citizens would get out of them being libreated from a heartless dictator but i wonder what's next for these people, obviously democracy will replace their old Government but i fear that may also come under fire and becaome another dictatorship though it seems unlikely now since US will have tight watch on Iraq from hereafter.....but you never know.
The whole thing seemed a little fishy to me, when i saw it on the news last night, at Satan's house. *grins* anyway, I was watching all of these people and i think that the whole thing is a hoax. Those people were paid to do it. I may be wrong, but it just seemed weird. Too....happy and planned out. As for where they are i agree with ben.
AS far as we are concerned there are 3 types of Iraqis: pro-saddam, anti-saddam, neutral/undecided. Only the first 2 would go outside and realy demonstrate (although the 3rd group may join in for the 'fun'). Obviously saddam's supporters will not be waving flags of him around with tons of US tanks sitting there. That only leaves 1 group visible. This doesn't mean that they are the majority. Now if I had to guess I would say most will support the fall of Saddam, but this isn't evidence of that.

Personally im waiting untill a few months from now when iraq has collapsed into civil war or they have a new oppressive dictator, but we're too busy invading Syria to care.
