Joe Re...Civilians may be the problem. But for a reason different from normal wars. In this war, we care more about Iraqis than their president, and if there is a starvation in Baghdad, it is much more of a problem for us than for Saddam. Saddam wants them to starve, hoping that the world opinion will force US into some kind of cease fire, so that he can get out this once more. This could be the opposite, where the coalition has the food and water sitting there outside of Baghdad, and all they have to do is come out and get it. Then Saddam would be forced to shoot his civilians, to stop them from abandoning him. Thst is kind of happening in Basra now.
