Four years ago I was shocked to see American capture of Baghdad without a fight. According to some account Americans used chemical weapons against the defenders of the airport in Baghdad. The rapists used the same methods throughout Iraq to put down resistance forces to some success. Iraqis are still fighting the ugly occupation paying a heavy price for it. As freedom loving people around the world know, freedom need to be gotten by blood and money. It is very important that Iraqis need not to lose hope in the face of death and destruction; they are the face of resistance for every oppressed and colonized people.
Four years after that moment, with violence besieging the country, Jubouri is concerned with neither benchmarks nor timelines, troop strengths nor withdrawal dates. What he cares most about is security and order, of which, he said, he has seen very little. He blames Iraq's Shiite-led government and its security forces, and wishes for a return of the era led by the man whose statue he helped tear down.
"We got rid of a tyrant and tyranny. But we were surprised that after one thief had left, another 40 replaced him," said Jubouri, who is a Shiite Muslim. "Now, we regret that Saddam Hussein is gone, no matter how much we hated him."
