"Look, it can't be fun to be occupied". - U.S. viceroy Paul Bremer on increased attacks in Iraq


On the heels of peace demonstrations in the U.S. on Saturday {1}, {2}and the attempted assassination of U.S. Deputy Secretary of Defense (sic), Paul Wolfowitz in Baghdad on Sunday, the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan brought the bloodiest day in the Iraqi capital since US-led forces in invaded last spring. The BBC reported that at least 34 people have been killed in a series of apparently coordinated suicide bomb attacks in central Baghdad today. One of the attacks was on the headquarters of the International Red Cross.

Advocates for corporate globalization are descending on the remains of Iraq to divide up the spoils of war even as the body count grows higher. But the Bush regime's "good news" media offensive, its blatant censorship, and fake letters to home from GIs can't obscure the realities on the ground. U.S. military moral is low and the Iraqi occupation occupation is starting to be reminiscent of Vietnam.
