Men in Fear!
A few days ago I went across Baghdad and back – an annoying trip with all the traffic congestions and the heat.
Looking at people, I could see the usual faraway look of sadness in the eyes Iraqis invariably possess. I could see anger and frustration.
But the only fear I saw was in the eyes of young men bearing weapons, wearing bullet-proof vests and riding armored vehicles! American soldiers!
All other vehicles tried to keep a "safe" distance from them!
