Subject: If the military had shot looters, it would have been reported as shooting "innocent" civilians. The military are doing a lot more. Notice, no people starving. There are not 1000s of fleeing refugees (predicted by the press). I find this handwringing disingenuous. If there were a war going on in Philadelphia and people were looting, then they'd be looting. I guess the good citizens of Iraq didn't care either. I donot see them running to protect their museums. Objects are worthless to people who are dead. I would rather have the military protect life.
In reply to: Chris Henry 's message, "If our forces don't maintain law and order, then who will - Saddam Hussein's? And if we are seen to fail in this responsibility, then of course all the hostile press will make the most of the opportunity to say that we replaced a repressive regime with total chaos and anarchy - we'll have given them a perfect opportunity." on 06:34:26 04/21/03 Mon
