“However, Tannous Basil, a 47-year-old cardiologist in Sidon, Lebanon, said Saddam’s regime was a ‘dictatorship and had to go.’

“‘I don’t like the idea of having the Americans here, but we asked for it,’ he said. ‘Why don’t we see the Americans going to Finland, for example? They come here because our area is filled with dictatorships like Saddam’s.'”

Well, this American is going to Finland. Tune in ten days from now for reports from the front.
