Washington Post’s regret; Saddam is gone

In an article today, the Washington Post’s Sudarsan Raghavan wistfully writes about one single Iraqi who regrets that Saddam is gone;

Crowds of chanting Iraqis, some clutching stones and sandals, swarmed Firdaus Square to deliver blows to the statue. Then, with the help of an American tank and a winch, it toppled, creating one of the defining images of the U.S.-led invasion. Over one photo of Jubouri, a headline reads: “The Fall of Baghdad.”

“It achieved nothing,” he said, after he had put away the magazines.

Yup, three .html pages of one Iraqi’s opinion – Khadim al-Jubouri a motorcycle mechanic for Hussein and his sons wishes Hussein were back. That’s what passes for news these days – one guy is unhappy with the Iraqi government.
