Didn't the New York Times tell us this morning that the inhabitants of Basra loved Saddam?

Contrast the riots in Basra with the anti-war riots in the West... and see just how pathetic the "peace" protesters are.

US drops 1000-pound bomb on Basra targets
 

US and British forces have been battling to take control of the southern Iraqi city of Basra. An American warplane reportedly dropped 1000-pound bombs on targets where weapons were being stored. Other targets included buildings thought to be used by Iraqi fighters still defending Iraq's second-largest city. There were also reports of a civilian uprising against Saddam Hussein in Basra, but the Iraqi information minister has denied these claims.

On the humanitarian front, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said on Tuesday that its staff had reached the main pumping station in Basra and were trying to restore water supplies there as quickly as possible. The water shortages in the town had prompted the ICRC to warn that civilians there were facing a "humanitarian crisis."
