Well I am glad he has gone, don't you get the feeling that all them Iraq people must have a sigh of relieve that he has now gone. Unlike the first Iraq war when the Americans pulled out it caused a back lash but that's bound to happen now anyway because of all the Anti Americanism out there.
To be honest I'm happy about it, anything to get rid of these evil men is great, it means one less evil person on the planet but I think he should of been killed by lethal injection like they do in the USA prisons because his court was probably flawed and barbaric.
Well the majority of Iraqis (the shi'ites) are happy about it as they were oppressed during Saddam's regime. The Sunnis (the ones resisting the new government) were in power during Saddam's reign and they are not so happy about all of this. Since they are not the majority of the population, they do not have much influence in their government and they try to use violence instead. This just further shows them that violence gets them nowhere. They have to play the political game.
You're right about the anti-Americanism, but it is not isolated to outside countries. There are a huge number of people within US borders that hate theirselves. They think we police the globe. They think our government is evil and big business is evil. These people create division within our country and do their best to influence the rest of the population into hating our country as well.
