The images & pics were designed to agitate the US Brits & Aussies.

I have no doubt that based on incidents of civillians already being blasted (as well as journalists) that the fighting & pictures will get nastier & more vicious.

I just can't see how any good is going to come out of this conflict. These images are a far cry from the sanitised pictures we were getting of the spectacular advances of the 1st 2 days.

Now the reality sets in - many of these people are willing to die defending their country just as many Americans would if Arabs were swarming in to liberate ythem from the Republicans. It is only brain dead zealots (like you know who), who will argue that the Iraqis are begging to be liberated by US.
