I retract my comment on the clip for the time being, untill i can gather more evidence to prove it or disprove it... I have gone to the CNN people and asked them on the subject, but theres no reply yet...
Christoph: feel free to e-mail me, but please if you want to get into a serious debate dont use langauge like:

1"think educatedfilm is just desperate to not have his current way of thinking upset."
2"So go on lamenting the poor, persecuted Palestinians"

and read the earlier replies alot of the stuff we're saying will make more sense...

"Why would the Palestinians be celebrating during the Gulf War anyway? Their little buddy Saddam got his ass kicked."
a)they were celbrating the fact that the troops were pulling out (im pretty sure, although i'm not certain).
b) Suddam has been the enemy of the arabs for alot longer than he has been an enemy of the US (he only became an enemy of the US when he invaded kuwaite, before that he was a freind and being funded to wage war on Iran (please check this for your self, it was during the 80s))
c) absolutly nothing happpened to him, all that's happened is that his poeple were made to suffer even though they had been against him even before the whole kuwaite issue..
