    I've been wondering how Jews in the Nazi camps would have reacted had
    Allied bombers and artillery unintentionally killed a few hundred of the
    survivors in setting them free. (For all I know this actually happened.) I
    suspect they'd have regarded it as the tragic but mysterious will of God,
    and been grateful for their escape from Hitler and his lunatics. The Iraqis
    apparently aren't reacting that way *at all*. Probably they're all paid
    actors sworn to personal Hussein service.
