Children cheer Saddam...
I realize this is not a politically correct story to repeat but here is the link: It is the last paragraph on the page..

<snip>
Sunday morning an Iraqi civilian car hit an explosive device and burst into flames on the road to the U.S. base at Baghdad airport, badly wounding the driver.

Sergeant Brent Williams of the 1st Armored Division said the blast had probably been caused by a land mine. Asked whether it had been intended for U.S. convoys that use the road regularly, he said: "That's a possibility."

A crowd of children gathered, flinging stones at soldiers and shouting their support for Saddam.

"Our flesh and blood, we sacrifice for you Saddam," the children chanted as the car smoldered. (Additional reporting by Cynthia Johnston in Baghdad)
