| #3 Sometime last week, antiwar pointed out that things were much more peaceful in Fallujah before the Americans invaded. This one for her: "This lady, this poor lady came to every grave," said Qizwini, pointing to a photo of a woman in an abaya sitting, her arms reaching forward over a mound of earth. "At each excavation she would sit by the grave and say, 'Is this my son? Is this my son?' and no one answered her." Qizwini started to move on, but Bremer slowed him. "Did she ever find her son?" he asked. "No, she did not," Qizwini answered. |

| #2 "Come to Hillah and see that the dream of a peaceful and democratic Iraq can be realized by the good people of Iraq . . . " Read the article. And be amazed that at least some journalists are doing their job! |

| #1 Excellent piece, SH, thx! This explains why the Zarqawi killers felt compelled to set off a bomb there - one of their self-defeating intimidation exercises. Cloning guys like Qizwini would magnify Iraq's chances dramatically. If only Sistani was half the man. |
