Saddam's Statue

Wasn't today magnificent? So moving to see the Iraqis learning that they don't have to fear Saddam and his crew anymore. One of those riveting scenes that will live forever in history's annals.
Today was worth enduring all the anti-war hate march coverage to see the faces of some of the TV talking heads having to pretend joy when they hate the military, the US and Bush. Wish I could see Peter Jenning's head explode!
Thank you for the link to the military dead. I would like to propose that grateful Americans send a note and $1 to each family. Maybe if they received $1 million or more, their economic futures would be secure and they would be piled high with good wishes and gratitude. No bureaucracy, just simple swamping with cash and gratitude.
Maybe we could do something similar for the injured some of whom may not be able to work again or who may struggle with disability for the rest of their lives. Those who mailed to the families of the dead could do the same for the injured who share their surname initial. Just a thought.

Okay. Just don't put me in charge. :)

Actually, O'Reilly has a list of military relief societies here. Sometimes, a little bureaucracy is necessary. But just a little.
