Naomi Klein - Terror as a weapon of occupation

[0rion]

Wednesday March 24, 2004: "The Guardian" -- In London, they unfurled a protest sign on Big Ben, in Rome a million demonstrators filled the streets. Here in Iraq, there were no such spectacular markings of the one-year anniversary of the invasion - a sign, the BBC speculated, that Iraqis are generally "pleased" with the progress of their liberation.

Yet driving around Baghdad on Saturday, the eerie quiet felt more like a sign that symbolic anniversaries are an unaffordable luxury when the war they are supposed to be marking is still being waged. Several demos were planned for Saturday in Baghdad but cancelled at the last minute - a response to three days of rapid-fire attacks on Iraqi and foreign civilians.
