#1 Looks like Saddam's enemy is also our enemy. No surprises here. No money for him or his ilk, and death for the people who help him organize terrorists attacks against us. (I always thought this campaign wasn't bloody enough; the great thing about killing millions of civilians during WWII was that the enemy knew they were defeated at the end of it). Setting this thing up as liberation may turn out to be a major mistake. I'm waiting for Iraqis to revert to their standard anti-American stances.

At the same time, not killing huge numbers of Iraqis did help us finish the job with fewer casualties. Of course, now that we control the place, we can pretty much do what we have to in order to ensure our security. Bush has shown no squeamishness about robust rules of engagement. I suspect Iraqis who think we're soft are going to find out they're making a mistake. We might not show the flag, but we will kill people who threaten our troops.
