No light at the end of the tunnel...
Well as I'm fully aware now the US have captured Saddam Hussein, aware because I can't listen watch or go anywhere without being reminded of the 'Great Victory'. This sparked a few thoughts for me, firstly relief for those Iraqis that suffered because of him, but then a few more... Hasn't the Coalition been telling us time and time again that Saddam used many look-a-likes and decoys, yet when they find him the fact that he said to them "I am Saddam Hussein President of Iraq" was enough Identification! Also Who's victory is this, the country is hardly born again, infact it is currently struggling to live. The then further coverage from the media and the Coalition of Car Bombing by 'Saddam Loyalists', only confuses me more are we being convinced these are attacks committed by so called loyalists to Saddam because they may in fact just simply be retaliating against the occupation. I dont see a victory here for many at all... just a smoke screen to hide the mess that Iraq is still in, hopefully that is improving, but the Coalition went into Iraq looking for WMD and after 7 months they have only found Saddam.
