I saw interviews with Iraqi families that said they would not use the existing bunkers because of what happened in the '91 conflict when the US tageted and destroyed a civilian bunker, thinking it was a military one. so it doesn't even matter if there are enough bunkers. the interviews i have seen remind me of interviews with Londoners during the blitz in WWII. they are so used to being bombed they just go on with their regular business, and hope for the best.


Well, the German novellist living in Bagdad said something different - maybe both is right: Not enough, not enough sheltered and maybe a death cage.

Eh, it's nowhere near complete control. They can't control the Associated Press (AP), nor many independent press organizations. I read articles from the AP and others all the time that make me question what's going on.


Good to hear - I saw an interview with the editor of the Sun and other newspapers (forgot their names) and their arrogance and war propaganda made me sick. Is it true: Iraq war prisoners are shown clearly whereas American war prisoners are shown with hidden faces? Geneva Convention valid only for US?
Threats to move US soldiers out of Germany over to Poland - so Germany, suffering from economic problems, would get hurt more? Not that I would mind that, I'm quoting this only as one example for the arrogance I've heard.
