Freeance and Peance
WIIIAI reminds us that this week saw the passing of a millstone, um, I mean a milestone, in Mesopotamia:
Today was Iraqi Freedom Day, the anniversary of the stunt in which Saddam Hussein’s statue was pulled down by Marines from the crack 75th Unsubtle Propaganda Division. How did y’all celebrate? Iraq celebrated with the usual bombings, shootings and whatnot. Freedom, ain’t it grand?
I wonder if Dick Perle still stands by his assertion from September of 2003:
And a year from now, I'll be very surprised if there is not some grand square in Baghdad that is named after President Bush. There is no doubt that, with the exception of a very small number of people close to a vicious regime, the people of Iraq have been liberated and they understand that they've been liberated. And it is getting easier every day for Iraqis to express that sense of liberation.
I don't think "liberation" is really the proper term, Dick.
