Dancing in the streets!

[Zkribbler]

curtsibling and Lancer are both right.

curtsibling reminds us of the horrors of war, and war is nothing to celebrate. I, for one, will never forget the tears of that huge father whose children were buried in the rubble of the blast that got Saddam.

Lancer celebrates the end of war--and if there's anything worth celebrating, it is the end of a war especially, when it marks the end of a regime of one of the bloodiest rulers of my lifetime.

curtsibling points out that the war isn't actually over yet...and that may be technically true , but the end should come very, very quickly now.

Yesterday, we were fighting the war.
..Tomorrow, we start the real work of helping to rebuild Iraq.
....But today, we dance in the streets.

Some Iraqis with a sign..."Go Home Human Shields"



I guess they weren't impressed with those *******s either.

[Lancer]

WooHoo Zkribbler!

Zkribbler >> Couldn't have said it better myself

[Lancer]

They've got a rope up to that statue now, trying to get it around it.

A few thousand is nothing comparitively to 1,800,000.

Had Saddam been allowed to remain in power, and his sons after him, then many many more would die than have done in this war, in a matter of weeks.

I am not challenging you on this.

You are right, getting rid of Saddam's bestial regime is a boon.

But a 'few thousand' people died in september 11th.
Including 'only' 300 people from my nation.
To me, that is not nothing!
All those people were worth a great deal!

Do not dehumanize people.

But I get your point, so let's move on and not argue over this.

Zkribbler, Thanks!

You make it all clear...

You see, Mr Lancer, I am not actually against your view.

I'm just wanting you to recognise the costs. To us and the Iraqis...

But that can be addressed once the people finish and get back to rebuilding...

[Lancer]

curt, the purpose of this thread was simple, to celebrate with the Iraqis dancing in the street. As I said before, I mourn and I'll mourn when I choose.

Now I choose to dance!



DanS!



They got a rope around Saddam's statues' neck.

Those Iraqis must be flying high right now.

Would be better if they had a rope around Saddams neck instead

I normally don't like to dance, but this is much more than I hoped for (which actually makes me fear what kind of autrocities we will discover about Saddam in the near future).

YEAH to the Iraqi people!

The course of the Iraqi people in smiley form:



and I dance with them!


...but what is the next smiley?

[Lancer]

Go donegeal!



This is history. Commentater said it reminded him of the Berlin wall coming down.

ADG, yeah, everything in its time. I think these people have thrown off the fear of him. Saddam without his power...if he still lives.

The Iraqis will get him eventually if we don't get him soon.

So many people I want to tell to "Kiss My Ass", where do I start?
