I heard an educated Iraqi say today that if Saddam Hussein were allowed to run for elections he would get the majority of the vote. This is truly sad.

    Fear does alot to a people. It will take eras (errors) to rid the fear from that part of the world - this is only the beginning - such is evolution

    think of a drug addict - think of the drug dealer

    who do you blame for the addiction?

    a culture has relied on Saddam

    there is life after Saddam

    don't be fooled into thinking that just because one POV shows that the majority vote would put Saddam back into power . . .

    there is so much turmoil and conflict and lies and dust and death - not that the educated iraqi's POV is not valid but i think that anything coming from there needs to be translated or looked at as if the answer or POV were considered a symptom of the cause and effect dictatorship

    the path of least resistence

    back to crack dealer

    back to the system

    again only time and space will tell

    the majority Iraqi and the educated Iraqi are still drying out

    getting sober from the effects of Saddam

    the process is still in an embryonic state

    time . . .
