Well, I would really HOPE that this is true. One thing that really saddens me about the majority of the Iraqis over there is that they seem to be really apathetic about their "Freedom". I could understand some fears while Saddamned was around, but he is out of the picture now. I know that there are "some" Iraqis helping us, but if there are "many" helping us, the word isn't getting out, or I'm just not hearing about it. True Freedom always has a HUGE PriceTag! I wish more Iraqis would arise and take this Chance for freedom into their hearts. I dunno......maybe they are too afraid of displeasing allah....?????

Not until November. Most of the world thinks Bush will be defeated and America will cut and run.

I fear that apathy in the long run for Iraq. The concepts of Liberty and Freedom have no historical significance for these people.

Domination by a dictator or tribal ruler is all they have known for generations. Its hard to imagine that someone would prefer an iron hand to chosing your own destiny, but then I've never know anything but Freedom.

Actually, Saddam is still breathing. Until that is corrected, his former subjects will continue to fear him and his loyalists. That is why Saddam must be executed ASAP.

A great many people who are brave enough to stand up for Iraqi freedom, are lying in Saddam's mass graves. It will take time for the Iraqis to be convinced they are in control of their own destiny. We must be patient for that to happen.

Now if we can just get the Demorats to stop scaring the Iraqi people with their cut and run propaganda...
