4/9/2003: Iraqis protest

Undertoad · 04-09-2003, 12:08 PM

As the Iraqi war argument has gone on and on, there is one group of people that hasn't been polled by anyone: the Iraqis.

Today may go, in history, as the day Iraq was liberated - or, unlawfully invaded and toppled, depending on your point of view. But to give some perspective, today IS, by anyone's thinking, the first day that Iraqis themselves could say anything at all against the administration that has ruled them for decades. And they chose to ride the head of Saddam through the streets of Baghdad, hauling it with the chain that brought it down, and whapping it with sticks, shoes, poles, anything they could find.

And they chose to bring us this message.
