"Women waved from balconies, girls threw flower petals at young Marines leaning across gun turrets. One woman held her baby aloft. Tank crews picked the flowers from the tops of their fighting machines, smelt them and grinned." Al Jazeera, Apr. 9, 2003, as Marines rolled into Baghdad. Wow. Thank you for that post, kitten. Amazing.
