Cristobo, even if Saddam had won, the difference between the joy of that moment, and the joy they are showing now, is that now noone is forcing them to show that happiness, don't you think?

During Franco's dictatorship the demonstrations for the regime were quite frequent. Five years after his death, you couldn't see but a very small group (perhaps a dozen thousands) of their supporters. Is the way dictatorships work...

As for the two spanish journalists dead yesterday and on monday I feel it at heart. It is very sad. I wonder what the heck was thinking the soldier who shot over the journalists' hotel.

I think that an investigation should be done to clarify the death. When the force is used in a legitimate way, it must be done following the laws, in a way that every possible casualty is avoided.

Watching the images I can't think of a reasonable argument to shoot at the hotel, but investigation will say.
