Day 23: The Day After
Posted: Friday, April 11, 2003

The Lie Of Liberation
Cheering Iraqis are just a diversion, folks. BushCo's real goal is only just beginning

Damascus Road: More Invasions to follow
Syria, however, would make a tasty snack -- rough fare gulped down on the long, circuitous march to Persia and Cathay. What's more, a dose of shock and awe for Damascus would secure the rear for any eventual push on Teheran. And once recalcitrant Syria is brought to heel, the juicy olive of Lebanon would surely fall of its own ripe weight, without any need of brutal plucking.

Saddam's half-brother killed in bomb raid

More bloodlust than a real war

Coalition forces in Iraq are breaching the Geneva Convention by failing to protect hospitals in Baghdad from looters, the United Nations claimed.

Robert Fisk: Baghdad: the day after

US says flag incident was a 'coincidence'
It was, by any measure, an astonishing coincidence. As the biggest statue of Saddam Hussein in Baghdad was pulled down "spontaneously" in front of the world's media, the Stars and Stripes which flew on the Pentagon on 11 September was at hand to be draped over its face.

Fears for the future
The assassination of a revered Shia Muslim cleric is symptomatic of the growing uncertainty following recent celebrations in Baghdad, says Brian Whitaker
