Riverbend on Post-Saddam Baghdad

Riverbend has a report on the aftermath of Saddam's being captured. It's worth glancing over in full, but here's an excerpt:

"Yesterday was almost as messy. Most parents kept their kids home. There have been pro-America demonstrations in some areas, and anti-America demonstrations in other areas. At around 6 pm yesterday evening, the chaos began in Amriyah, a residential area in Baghdad. The streets were suddenly filled with anti-American demonstrators, some holding up pictures of Saddam. It lasted until around 11 pm and then the tanks pulled up and things settled down somewhat. Similar occurrences in A'adhamiya in Baghdad, and one or two other areas."

UPDATE: I should also link to Ziyad of Healing Iraq.
