Can't we close these things off? Or just send out the warning that anyone approaching will be shot.

It's going to be very tough...I was holding my breath yesterday during the liberation celebrations half-expecting a suicide bomber to walk up to one of the tanks. There was no way the Coalition troops could have prevented it. The sad thing is that most of these attacks are probably being perpetrated by foreigners from Jordan, Syria, and other Arab nations that have no problem continuing the Iraqi suffering as long as they get to kill a few Americans along the way.

I too was holding my breath yesterday. Someone could have fired into the crowd as well as suicide bombers entering.
And it wasn't until this morning that I realized that there were only men at the "rally". What took me so long?

I read a post here this morning that said that saddam's inner circle are all from outside Iraq. Do you remember reading this? I'd like to revisit it as I've forgotten the names of the countries.
