Scenes seen thius morning in Baghdad, that would have been imrobable just a few hours ago.. As American Marines make their way through the easter Shi'ia suburbs, crowds have appeared throwing flowers.. posters and statues of Saddam being pulled down and defaced..
It would appear the government forces in the Iraqian Capital have disappeared.. the first sign was this morning when the government over-seers did not arrive to accompany foeign journalists to monitor what they filmed.. broadcast.. For the first time unrestricted access to the city is possible..
"Thank you Mr. Bush" repeated over and over, from Iraqi citizens who yesterday would have been summarily shot for such an utterance..
So much for reports from countries who opposed this action, who's claims maintained this to be an unnecissary war.. one in which the Iraqi people had no real interest..
One must believe that those who issued such reports, had never before seen the liberation of a repressed peoples, who in fact perhaps had no idea what conditions such people contend with on a daily basis..
Jaques Chirac might well have looked to his country's record in Algeria.. read history.. it was only 1966 after all..
One might think Helmut Schroeder might have had a look at the archive films of his own people, when the Allies walked into Berlin..
A Dictatorship is always glad-handed when in power.. and is universally condemned when deposed..
Such is Iraq today.. such is Baghdad..
Justification?
