Time Flies When You're Having Fun

Hard to believe, but today is the fourth anniversary of the fall of Baghdad. And what do we have to show for it? Besides the 3248 dead American soldiers, tens of thousands of dead Iraqis, and hundreds of billions of dollars down the drain?

Well, we no longer have to worry about Saddam selling WMD's to Al-Qaeda! Of course, he never had any to sell in the first place, nor did he have any ties to Osama bin Laden, but that's besides the point.

But enough with the pessimism!! While we continue to debate the merits of the war, Iraqis--at least the ones still alive--took to the streets of Baghdad and other major cities in Iraq to celebrate today's anniversary.

Granted, they were chanting for the "occupiers" to get out of their country, but at least they were finally unified in a common sense of purpose.
