Thank you!

At the Ratidain state bank, Hussein Salman, an accountant, sat on a bag holding eight million dinars, or $4,000, in small bills. He was waiting to deposit it — something he would have thought twice about before the war.

"It's safer to use banks now because there's more stability," he said. One reason for the stability was the American M1 Abrams tank outside the front door with its gun pointed at the street. Inside, around Mr. Salman, the lobby teemed with three dozen people waiting for a teller. Before the war, "it was never crowded," he said. "Almost nobody came here."

Take away the prospect of torture or execution and the truth about Hussein's polling numbers comes to the fore.

His support among Dean supporters remains strong, however.

THIS from the TIMES?? Ok, when's the sky gonna fall on our heads? LOL!

Gotta say, this is a surprise. Wonder how long this will last.
A good one to send out to the Dims I know. With luck, it may start opening their eyes.

Thanks for the ping, RC.
