Arrrrggghhh! BBC complaining now about anarchy and why aren't Bush and Blair helping. Beeb Dweeb in Baghdad saying our troops aren't THAT busy, so they really ought to stop the looting.

Yes, our troops aren't that busy. Like, give me a break BBC!

This has been explained and makes sense. we do not want to take a hard line against people for non-violent crimes. We do not want them to fear us as they did Saddam. After a few days, things will settle down and the Iraqis will get themselves under control. Who cares if they clear out the bombed-out buildings? They're just going to be demolished, anyway.
