''It is now five days since the British and US governments launched an unprecedented military invasion of my country of birth, its people, land, towns and cities. This attack was launched without UN authority, public support or the will of the international community. To win support for this unjust and illegal campaign, it has been claimed that this is not a colonial war of occupation but a war of liberation; a compassionate war. Britain and the US will save the Iraqis by bombing so they can thrive in a democratic Iraq and live at ease with their neighbours. Those who believed the hype expected the Iraqis to welcome the invading armies. After British troops were forced to retreat from Basra yesterday, a military spokesman said: "We were expecting a lot of hands up, but it hasn't quite worked out that way." It is now clear to everyone that ordinary Iraqis are resisting this military aggression with their lives and souls. Commentators and politicians in Britain and America seem taken aback: how come the Iraqis are putting up such a fight? (With warnings of a coming civil war in Iraq.)''

''Iraqi civilians scream for help as they are caught in the crossfire while marines from the U.S. Marine Expeditionary Unit Fox Company 'Raiders' push into southern Iraq (news - web sites) to take control of the main port of Umm Qasr on March 21, 2003. U.S. and British ground forces launched assaults into Iraq in a bid to topple Saddam Hussein''

Missiles blast Baghdad apartments: 14 dead
At least 14 people have died after an apparent US air raid devastated a busy residential and commercial street in Baghdad.
Charred bodies and mangled cars litter the area, sparking fury among crowds of Iraqis, after what witnesses and local officials say was a double missile strike.
Reuters correspondents at the scene say they have counted at least 14 bodies. Some lay in the wreckage of burned out cars.
Crowds of enraged Iraqis carried bodies away, chanting: "There is no god but Allah" and "We will sacrifice our blood and souls for you, Saddam!"
