It was a remarkable piece, indeed. Though uttered by a British officer, it's emblematic of American conduct of the Iraq situation since Bush became President. I remember well being taught as a child that the fertile crescent between the Tigris and Euphrates was the cradle of civilization. I don't know whether that squares with current anthropological theory, but regardless the people and artifacts of Iraq are worthy of deep respect and careful, thoughtful conduct of war. Message #84813 from FaultLine at Mar 21, 2003 10:03 PM You will be shunned unless your conduct is of the highest, for your deeds will follow you down history. Iraq is steeped in history. It is the site of the Garden of Eden, of the Great Flood, and the birth of Abraham. Tread lightly there. You will have to go a long way to find a more decent, generous and upright people than the Iraqis. You will be embarrassed by their hospitality, even though they have nothing ... gave me goose bumps, remarkable piece, thanks --k/fl
