Sarcasm noted. Lovely talking with you.

Moving right alone, I should have corrected myself there indeed. Neglected to read the article and didn't realize the view was of Allawi's. My mistake. It contradicted what I've heard from Iraqis and saw "London" and "Yahoo" and jumped to an irresponsible conclusion.

As far as the names of the Baghdad citizens goes that I've talked to that would disagree with Mr. Allawi wholeheartedly, I honestly don't recall their names and would probably have some difficulty pronouncing them anyway ;-) There weren't very many, but they really went out of their way to make sure I understood how much better things were there and how thankful they were that Saddam was gone.

Nobody has to take my word for that of course, but I'll take the word of our troops when they get back. I'm just a nobody as you've delightfully pointed out. My point was it's not a bad idea to speak to an Iraqi citizen that has lived under Saddam's rule about whether life is better now or pre-Saddam in Baghdad or anywhere else in Iraq when you get a chance. Might also be a good idea to ask whether the person you're speaking to worked for Saddam at the time too. Chances are if he did and is now unemployed he might not be as happy as the rest of the folks. Or so I was told by one of the Iraqi's ;-)
