Findet jedenfalls Kanan Makiya, Exil-Iraker, Professor für Nahoststudien an der Brandeis Universität in Massachusetts, USA, in seinem <a href=www.tnr.com target=_blank>Kriegstagebuch für die "New Republic": The bombs have begun to fall on Baghdad. Iraqi soldiers have shot their officers and are giving themselves up to the Americans and the British in droves. Others, as in Nasiriyah and Umm Qasr, are fighting back, and civilians have already come under fire. Yet I find myself dismissing contemptuously all the e-mails and phone calls I get from antiwar friends who think they are commiserating with me because "their" country is bombing "mine." To be sure, I am worried. Like every other Iraqi I know, I have friends and relatives in Baghdad. I am nauseous with anxiety for their safety. But still those bombs are music to my ears.
