Civilians hail US soldiers

THE EDITOR: Friendly Fire: a situation where certain forces are hit by missiles coming from their own allies.

This phenomenon started twelve years ago when the American soldiers opened fire on their own country men! At this time it is the turn of the British to become target of American warhead missiles! When it is felt that that was enough up comes the scene involving the American and Kurdish soldiers!

They were mistaken for Iraqi targets and who had a chance to view the BBC footage must have lumps in their stomachs as a result! This is what it costs to rid the country of Iraq of one dictator! The charge that Syria is providing war equipment and night vision goggles to the Iraqi soldiers is another reason for the prolonged war! It is also curious to read of Dr Waffie Mohammed’s views about both America and Saddam, who also believes that he is walking in the footsteps of Saladdin.

The only difference is that Saladdin had a deeply united following against the Crusaders from Europe many centuries ago. With the invasion of Kuwait in 1990, the Middle East world did not trust Saddam at all (And still doesn’t)! This is what the Iraqi propaganda machinery does not want the world to know as each capture of a town or city results in civilians hailing the invaders as saviours!
