From: "John Beamish" 

The Iraqis don't seem to be as enthusiastic these days in thanking
Americans (but that could be just my impression).

And, not to put too fine a point on it, it wasn't the Americans who got rid
of Saddam.  It was the coalition forces.  I think there were almost 50
countries in the coalition of the willing.

Sorry ... no url ... just indoctrination from watching WWII footage on TV.
