A "Muscular" Presence


BOB HERBERT in the New York Times examines the latest policy of American occupation forces shooting Iraqi looters on sight (snippet):
"This controversy is one more screaming example of the need for the U.N. to be handed the major responsibility for administering Iraq. This is not an appropriate mission for the U.S., and we're making a hash of it already. Americans should take a long, honest look in the mirror. We'll find that it's impossible to look good in the ugly garb of a colonial power."
