William Safire compares yesterday in Iraq with similar liberations in history:
Like newly freed Parisians tossing flowers at allied tanks; like newly freed Germans tearing down the Berlin wall; like newly freed Russians pulling down the statue of the hated secret police chief in Dzerzinsky Square, the newly freed Iraqis toppled the figure of their tyrant and ground their shoes into the face of Saddam Hussein.
Isn’t is wonderfully ironic that the three examples he chose are the three most significant opponents of this war?
