Iraqi Civilians 3; Terrorists 0Sure, it's just one battle, and there have been many in which hundreds of civilians have perished. But how sweet is it that the good guys won one for a change?: Ordinary Iraqis rarely strike back at the insurgents who terrorize their country. But just before noon today, a carpenter named Dhia saw a troop of masked gunmen with grenades coming towards his shop and decided he had had enough. Dang...! Didn't have to go all "pre-emptive," Dhia. I imagine the condemnation from Kofi Annan will be swift and fierce. Well, not fierce. Kofi Annan doesn't do fierce. Fierce might rumple his thousand-dollar suits. It was the first time that private citizens are known to have retaliated successfully against insurgents. There have been anecdotal reports of residents shooting at attackers after a bombing or assassination. But the gun battle today erupted in full view of half a dozen witnesses, including a Justice Ministry official who lives nearby. Let us have more of this. Much more. But there may be consequences for this heroism: Meanwhile, a group of armed neighborhood men stood watch on the roof of the house, guarding the streets leading to the Husseiniya mosque and Dhia's shop. These men are savages and killers, so I don't doubt there's a good chance they'll be back. But they are also rather cowardly, and prefer to score their "military victories" against buses full of twelve-year-old schoolgirls and other unarmed civilians. We will see. Let's hope if they do come back, they die in even greater numbers than before. Thanks for AndrewF for this great news on this sad day. | Recent Comments
