"Hell Rains Down on Iraqis"

BAGHDAD, 22 March 2003 - The United States and Britain unleashed a devastating air assault on this city yesterday as their ground forces thrust deep into Iraqi territory toward the capital. The air attack triggered giant fireballs, deafening explosions and huge mushroom clouds above the city center... Imams at Iraqi mosques condemned the US-led offensive and urged the public to fight against the US and British forces. Iraqi Television showed Dr. Abdullatif Hameem, imam of Baghdad's central mosque, carrying an AK-47 rifle in his hand while delivering the Friday sermon, and threatening the US forces... Baghdad has offered attractive rewards to every Iraqi soldier who downs an enemy plane or missile or captures a US or British soldier... Several road accidents were reported in Baghdad and the surrounding cities. In one incident, a car carrying an eight-member family overturned following an explosion, killing the whole family who were fleeing the bombing... "We are, no doubt, the victors," [Iraqi Defense Minister Sultan Hashim] Ahmed said, his voice sporadically drowned out by violent explosions

'My Dear Americans' is also pretty funny. But, the points he raises need to be countered over and over again, otherwise they'll gain a foothold in the Arab street.

Also, 'Stay Calm on Iraq, France Warns Its Young Muslims' is interesting.
