The square and side streets were quickly packed with crowds waving Iraqi flags and brandishing effigies of Saddam, British Prime Minister Tony Blair and President Bush.
"No America! No Saddam! Yes to Islam!" many chanted. One group of demonstrators burned an American flag.

Does it even matter?
More neocon 'philosophy'.

Canadians are asking, why do americans hate us? They hate our freedoms: our freedom of religion, our freedom of speech, our freedom to disagree with each other.
As for Iraqi civilization - it seemed rather meaningless under the dictates of Saddam. Building palaces for himself does not make him a 'civilized' Iraqi or do anything for Iraqi civilization for that matter.
The best commentary on Iraq under Saddam is no commentary at all - just look at how people 'voted'. There were and are now Iraqi communities in every major city of the world, thousands of Iraqis live right here in Canada - they voted with their feet - it's what people actually do that counts.
And what is the size of the Canadian-born ex-patriot community in Iraq? Just about zero, no Canadians were lining up to emigrate to Iraq. Because Canadians vote with their feet too.
