Quote of the day:
“In the name of democracy you kill our children!” ~Father of an injured 5 year old in Iraq

The Seattle Times headline today in huge bold type: Jubilation, disbelief
I don't think one could feel the former without the latter, though I'm sure we're in store for many manufactured reports of how delighted and thankful the Iraqis we haven't maimed or killed feel about their "liberation". Not that they aren't delighted and thankful that the removal of Saddam will mean an end to being bombed and sanctioned by the US, and the opportunity for a more benevolent, kinder, gentler dictatorship by US occupation forces. The choices for these people seem to me to range from dehumanizing to horrific.
