* the whole brit/basra thing is a complete disaster - theres so much smoke its difficult to work out what is going on. the basic storyline seems to be that 2 brits were arrested and were being held in a police station, so the britarmy ran over the police station/jail with tanks and a coupla hundred prisoners escaped. the photos might become iconic - if only for the reason that we dont even see whitey coffins.
reminded me of a song. probably cos of that Rockstah: INXS thing - (which is oddly compelling)
Never Tear Us Apart
Don’t ask me
What you know is true
Don’t have to tell you
I love your precious heart
What you know is true
Don’t have to tell you
I love your precious heart
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart
We could live
For a thousand years
But if I hurt you
I’d make wine from your tears
For a thousand years
But if I hurt you
I’d make wine from your tears
I told youThat we could fly
’cause we all have wings
But some of us don’t know why
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never ever tear us apart
And they could never ever tear us apart

i still find it odd that the brits and yanks thought that they could storm into iraq decapitate an authoritarian regime and not give a second thought as to what to replace it with! even basic understanding of human geography would tell you that there are many disparate groups in iraq which is in many ways an artifical "state" rather like the old yugoslavia, held together by a strong leader. in yugoslavia tito died and the "state" fell apart, in iraq they somehow thought that something different would happen?
im not sure they even thought that - many have argued that the purpose of invading iraq was to reduce it to non-threatening little statelets
