I think the main reason they didn't run into any oposition is because the Iraqi leaders are all gone...the majority of the soliders fighting for Iraq were told if they didn't fight, their family members would be killed. Well, no ones' left to carry out that threat, so no ones fighting. Plus, I believe that the poorest people live on the outskirts of Baghdad and they were tired of being treated so badly by Saddam and his regime. I'm not sure if the "war is over" but I can at least breathe a little eaiser and cross my fingers that my boyfriend is going to come home sooner than I thought.
God bless,
Blaire
