    Okay...today thousands upon thousands of people marched in Iraq against the American occupation. Now, the news reports these people as Shiite..but weren't the Shiite the ones the USA went in to liberate because Saddam was a Sunni and the Shiite were being treated so badly? Not only do they want the US out of there, but all vehicle traffic had to be suspended in Baghdad because of the possibility of bombings again.

    Now, I've been thinking about this. The last attack near that hospital where the attackers used chlorine gas and killed a pile of little kids - burned their little lungs out - are any of these people going to demonstrate what democracy is all about should they become the future leaders of the country? It all seems twisted to me.sammieswife.

    BAGHDAD (AP) -- Tens of thousands of Shiites - a sea of women in black abayas and men waving Iraqi flags - rallied Monday to demand that U.S. forces leave their country. Some ripped apart American flags and tromped across a Stars and Stripes rug.

    The protesters marched about three miles between the holy cities of Kufa and Najaf to mark the fourth anniversary of the fall of Baghdad. In the capital, streets were silent and empty under a hastily imposed 24-hour driving ban.

    They, and Iran are a 3rd world countrys, with oil and weapons. If the people we were trying to help, want us out, I say "Load up boys!!! We are out of here!!!!"

    Well, you know what they say. "Better the devil you know, than the devil you don't".

    I'm sure that whatever was going on behind the scenes, they could have worked it out with Saddam.

    It seems like it will take a "Saddam" to make these people behave themselves, or maybe a bible Jehovah.
