Keep standing with Hussein "protestors" of the world. Then again your leadership stands with Castro, Kim and Slobo, so why not? :nono:

Around 150 children spilled out of the jail after the gates were opened as a US military Humvee vehicle approached..."Hundreds of kids were swarming us and kissing us," Padilla said.
"The children had been imprisoned because they had not joined the youth branch of the Baath party," he alleged. "Some of these kids had been in there for five years."

I saw this and all I could think of is the former "Hitler Youth" camps. Saddam is a good guy. Just give him enough time and I am sure he will see the right way. :rolleyes:

I thought he had let about all or most the prisoners free here a while back?
