Re: the BBC reporting
One side of Baghdad is different from the other
- the Western side has had large and vocal pro-freedom rallies - the
eastern side has not. The poverty side of the city lies in the east. That
will change when the city is secured and these people see how much food,
water, opulance, etc, that Saddam's regime has stolen from them.
Actually all those folks on the eastern side went right to work looting and
burning. Same for Basra. As for the economics of the war, watch the
reconstruction contracts--they're going to funnel a possible $100 billion
from Iraqi oil wells into American companies--no Brits allowed, of course.
Greg, please do include some ObWho with your politics. ;)

ObWho: Um, May is coming up soon, so maybe we'll have child porn news to
discuss again. Didn't anybody like my 50+ post? I was really pleased with
the article, as it presented Pete as a role model and didn't mention one
word about child porn. :)
