Yes, I find Burns very good on Iraq too.

Did you notice this ending?

But in quieter moments today, other Iraqis were astonishingly frank in suggesting they were ready to endure war for liberty.

One retired chemical engineer working as a taxi driver told a fare that he had listened to Mr. Bush. "People are waiting for America," he said, taking both hands off the wheel to simulate applause.

This sudden candor has been a phenomenon starkly out of character with the neo-Stalinist atmosphere that has prevailed for so long in Iraq.


As far as I can see, there are only four populations with solid majority support for this war: Americans, Kuwaitis, Iranians and Iraqis. Interesting, the implications of that.
