Heh. I like this Washington Post article from this afternoon: "In Basra Stalemate, Some See Prelude to Baghdad" http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A47596-2003Mar29.html I went to the Timonium hamfest and computer show today (surprisingly good, even with the rain). On the way back, listened to an NPR Baghdad correspondent report that the mood in the city had subtly changed -- basically that since Saddam didn't seem to be getting his ass kicked, the locals now seem willing to fight, if not for Saddam himself, at least for the sake of their country.
