I fucking hated all the books ever assigned to me in school. Since they were all books that I had no interest in, for example... why the caged bird sings and the great gatsby, and never was I allowed to pick a book for my summer reading, school ruined reading for pleasure. I didn't even think of reading for pleasure until about a year after graduating... and I still don't like it all that much. I'm not sure if I ever read, was forced to read, this one though.

Im as anti-american politics as i can get, but i must disagree here.
They had been craving for the overthrowing of Saddam for god knows how long, and when they finally got it, they got pissed because it didnt turn out the way they hoped it would.
