Personally Dotsie -- I think this is the beginning of the end of tyranny in our world.
There truly is a chance for international peace and good will with the ALIVE capture of this maniac. The people of Iraq no longer have to fear that this regime could come back and they can now feel FREE to live FREE -- and until this man was caught ALIVE -- they couldn't do that.
He didn't die a martyr -- he didn't fight to the death in battle for his regime -- he was captured quietly and with no resistance in a hole in the ground like a trapped animal -- and this will take alot of wind out of the young men's sails that worshipped him.
America will bring democracy to the middle east. We will respect their religion, free their women, and honor their dead.
And as funny as it may sound -- when McDonald's and Wal Mart open stores in Iraq and the rest of the middle east sees how WONDERFUL our capitalist system is -- they will all follow suit quickly
Retaliation ???? oh I'm sure we will have many obstacles to overcome -- as there are always going to be madmen in our world -- children misled by fanatics -- but I truly believe that with the capture of Saddam Hussein --
the "Hitlers" of the world have come to an end.
The mid eastern countries will eventually realize that we didn't go to war on Iraq for their oil -- well let's be honest -- of COURSE we want their oil -- but we want to deal with a FREE country where EVERYONE can profit -- not just a select few. And personally -- I don't give a DAMN whether they find weapons of mass destruction or not -- we did the RIGHT THING !!!!!!!!!!!!! by taking this madman out of control -- and YES -- we did it for economic reasons -- but we mainly did it to keep another 9/11 from happening again.
Now there can be a better world for our children and our children's children -- and it will all be written down in history as the day President Bush, our armed forces and AMERICANS stood up to Saddam !!!
