when he asked, "When will this colonialist mentality of the west stop? This is a ridiculous and archaic view that Westerners have about foreign nation; that if we capture their leader, then the natives will become docile and subservient. Take out the leader and the natives will be enlightened." The truth is that the capture of Saddam has no relevance to what happens to the people. What happens to the people in Iraq will be determined by the economic interests of the west. The uprising and resistance to the US occupation in Iraq is the people rising up, not the lies that they tell us about a bunch of unruly Saddam loyalists. The so-called leader may be in custody but the resistance will live on! END TO WESTERN CHAUVANISM AND IMPERIALISM!!!
