The Jerusalem Post (free registration required) is reporting that Palestinians are naming their newborn babies after Saddam Hussein. We all knew it was going to happen. The same article also reports:

The correspondent describes the state of euphoria in Nablus each time people hear about a US helicopter that has been downed or American soldiers killed or captured by the Iraqis.

"Drivers start honking their horns, passersby start chanting and others fire shots into the air," he says.

An Egyptian song praising Saddam and Iraq has become the latest hit in the West Bank.

It's sad that they always seem to back the wrong side on these type of things. It just solidifies my believe that a lot of the problems that the Palestinians face is brought on them by their own actions and those of their leaders, not Israel or any other outside source. Maybe they'll figure this out someday and stop acting like victims and realize that they have power over what they do and how they act.
