It Is Always An Eerie Experience To

So Here's A Question From One Who Believed, Only A Week Ago, That Baghdad Might Just Collapse And That We Might Wake Up One Morning To Find The Baathist Militia And The Iraqi Army Gone And The Americans Walking Down Saadun Street With Their Rifles Over Their Shoulders. If The Iraqis Can Still Hold Out Against Such Overwhelming Force In Umm Qasr For Four Days, If They Can Keep Fighting In Basra And Nasiriyah – The Latter A City That Briefly Rose In Revolt Against Saddam's Regime In 1991 – Why Should Saddam's Forces Not Keep Fighting In Baghdad?

Even My Landlord, Who Is A Moderate Lebanese Guy, Says, "but Bin Laden Says What We Think." These People Believe That Bin Laden Is Being Targeted Not Because Of The World Trade Center And Washington; They Are Not Convinced By The Evidence That Has Been Produced. They Believe He's Being Targeted Because He Tells The Truth.

When I Saw The Pictures Of New York Without The World Trade Center, New York Looked Like A Shadow Of Itself.

And History`s Fingers Never Relax Their Grip, Never Leave Us Unmolested, Can Touch Us Even When We Would Never Imagine Their Presence.

U.s. Journalists I Don't Think Are Very Courageous. They Tend To Go Along With The Government's Policy Domestically And Internationally. To Question Is Seen As Being Unpatriotic, Or Potentially Subversive.
