Ordinary Iraqis talk about their lives:
Saad’s dreams were dashed a long time ago. “We always say, ‘Inshallah, there will be a solution’, but realistically we can’t see any hope.†Would he like Saddam back? “Yes,†he says. “For many reasons. During Saddam’s time I never saw a friend killed in front of my eyes, I never saw neighbours driven out of their homes just for their sect, and I never saw entire families being slaughtered and killed.â€
So, so sad. Mission accomplished!




Saad, meet Dubya, the Butcher of Baghdad
and the Machiavelli of Mesopotamia.
He’s best buddies with Pooty-Poot, the Poison-
Packing Potentate.
