I see your point here Chimp, but I think I'll still have to agree with Vince here, unfortunately.
I think Vince's point was interchangable. Take out the anti-U.S. sentiment, throw in anti-Ba'athist sentiment, and would this have happened even two weeks ago in Iraq???
It's just a bit ironic. The protests do however prove a point I've been trying to make, and one that folks like Vince have been too thick-headed to understand. The Iraqi people (SURPRISE SURPRISE!) are complex, diverse, and opinionated. They CAN be happy to see Saddam gone, AND be critical of the measures that have been/will be taken!!!
