[Spank-A-Thon]

I've been watching Sky News and Fox News for the past couple of hours and the scenes in Baghdad are truly over-whelming.

Despite my opposition to war and Bush/Blair's decisions, seeing the Iraqi people dancing and singing in the streets is truly something to behold.

To see the Iraqi people pull down Saddam's statue and hit it with shoes (an Iraqi insult) makes me feel happy for them.

It's definitely not over yet, but I am proud of the British and US Armed Forces. They've risked their lives for politicians, but through their actions have managed to bring joy to many Iraqi people.

I only pray now that the Iraqi people will finally find the peace and freedom they so badly need.
