As things have been heating up in the Middle East recently it is not so surprising to hear of more violence in Iraq especially after a deadly car bomb
killed scores. What is surprising is that the Iraqis are attacking elements of the new government directly responsible for handling Saddam's
future.
Will this stir up public emotion for the man that was once their leader. Or will they sit back in their chairs with their new 'freedom' as some say
they have and watch the show just like it was a movie?
