| The capture of Saddam Hussein The dramatic news of Saddam Hussein’s capture provides a faint glimmer of hope that peace and security may someday be possible in a country that has seen little of either. After decades of oppression, war, and deprivation, the long-suffering people of Iraq will finally see their brutal dictator brought to justice. For their sake, and for the sake of American servicepeople in Iraq, we hope that Saddam’s capture will hasten the end of hostilities in that country. While the chance of a democratic government in Iraq still seems remote, perhaps this news will help make it possible. We opposed the invasion of Iraq, which did nothing to improve the security of the American people, and caused incalculable damage to our reputation abroad. The capture of Saddam does not make an unwise war wise, it does not make an illegal war legal, and it does not make an utter failure of American foreign policy into a success. The current Administration has botched nearly everything it’s touched these last three years. Saddam’s capture provides them with a fresh opportunity to get our foreign policy back on track. Let’s hope they don’t botch this too. —The Administrators of DU If nothing else these people are consistent. They still opposed the Invasion of Iraq but hope that they will have Peace, security, and an end to suffering. That’s nice they ‘hoped’ that maybe Saddam would all of a sudden stop funding terrorism and maybe treat his people with dignity? Or maybe his son’s would have brought about a just and free Iraq? Pure delusional thinking if they think that change will come about simply by ‘hoping’ for it to happen. I hope that I will win the lottery and not have to work (I am still working until that comes about). I like the last two nuggets that on the ‘failed’ policy and ‘illegal’ war. If I were the RNC I would be plagiarizing the DU site for all my commercials this election season. My catch phrase at the end would go like this: ‘Iraq and the world now HAVE hope do to the efforts of President Bush and his war on terror.’ |

| #1 I liked Drudge's headline: Dean digs in. Hey...when you are in a hole... And, it was a rb'er yesterday who asked the key question which they must now answered: If the Iraq war/occupation was/is illegal, then isn't Sadaam still the leader of Iraq? |
