The only reaction I've seen was CNN showing about 25 Iraqis in MICHIGAN celebrating last night and referring to is as a huge showing.

Ah, the infotainment channels love a good hanging.

1. Baghdad streets aren't safe for dancing.

2. I guarantee there are plenty of them dancing inside their houses
Saddam was a brutal dictator and a good percentage of the population of Iraq is celebrating today.

5. some dance in celebration, others dance because they now have a new excuse...
A new empowerment to escalate this kill-fest they call civil-war.

3. Glad to see them dancing in Michigan ...
too bad they didn't enlist so they could be there for it.

4. CBC News said before the execution that Iraqis themselves were too

concerned about surviving daily errands to care much about Saddam's hanging. In other words..they are busy trying to avoid being blown up or killed to care.
