And the beginning of a conflict is not a typical time for rejoicing. But I do remember the smug and self congratulatory attitude by all the news talking heads when we entered Baghdad and later when we captured Saddam. I suspect they didn’t go out into the streets and dance, but a lot of people raised their beer and toasted the events.
Yeah. We'd never find the idea of blowing up our ideological enemies to be hilarious. We're very solemn about the whole matter.
