I hope we have done the right thing...I am optimistic, but very nervous.
BAGHDAD, Iraq — In a scene of triumph and jubilation televised live throughout the world, Iraqi citizens in the heart of Baghdad -- with help from a large U.S. military vehicle -- toppled a huge statue of Saddam Hussein Wednesday and began dancing on it when it fell to the ground.
I always hoped this would be the reaction of the Iraqi people after the fall of Saddam. I just wonder how long the honeymoon will last....
The Iraqis have no experience in governing themselves on any level. They are about to get a crash course in self rule. Fortunately the Iraqis are by and large and educated civil people. So if this experiment has any chance of working in the Arab world Iraq is the best place to try it.
I wish them all the luck in the world....
