In Iraq, The Stranglehold Is Loosened

I'm sick at home today so I didn't wake up until 11am. I turned on the TV and got to see footage of Baghdad and I couldn't help but smile. I saw Iraqi citizens dancing and cheering at the toppling of Saddam Hussein's statue. One man was sitting on the severed head of the statue while others dragged him around the square. Ride 'em, cowboy!

I wonder what the peaceniks, those people who protested so vehemently against the US, I wonder what they think when they see smiles on the faces of the now-free Iraqi citizenry. I wonder what goes through their head when they read about prisons that are filled with children -- CHILDREN! -- that are finally able to see their families again. I hope that they have doubts about their position, if for only a moment.
