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

Well, that interferes with the work of being welcome to the rest of the folk we are trying to help now. You saw the footage of friendlies and celebrations hand in hand with our troops. We need that for them to support us being there. No rule is going to achieve 100%, it is gonna be a mess for some time. Lull periods of safety, and madmen who will take advantage of that.

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.
