Socialist regime begins to crumble

Sky News just showed raw uncut footage of an older man with glasses overwhelmed with joy in front of a government building in Baghdad. He was holding a banner of Saddam's face that had been ripped down and was beating the picture of Saddam in his face with his shoe. Sky had Iraqi analyst Hamid Ali Alikfay in the studio and he did free translation of what this man was yelling. "Saddam has killed millions of us....this is the day we have been waiting for. We are Iraqis, but we are with the United States. We are Americans."
