Baghdad's streets now a deadly gantlet


<snip>
BAGHDAD, Iraq -- When Adnan Shalaal left his job at the Sheraton Hotel on Friday afternoon, he went from being a valued employee and father of three to a statistic on a police blotter -- one of dozens recorded daily in one of the world's most dangerous cities.

Shalaal and his three young children inadvertently drove through a shootout between insurgents and police. The 30-year-old hotel administrator was shot in the head, his blood and brains splattering over the youngsters. His children were unharmed, but Shalaal was not expected to survive.

By day or night, Baghdad has become a cacophony of automatic weapons fire, explosions and sudden death, its citizens living in constant fear of being shot by insurgents or the security forces meant to protect them.

Streets are crammed with passenger cars fighting for space with armored vehicles and pickups loaded with hooded and heavily armed Iraqi soldiers.

Hundreds of bombs in recent months have made mosques, public squares, sidewalks and even some central streets extremely dangerous places in Baghdad.

On Haifa Street, rocket-propelled grenades sometimes fly through traffic. Rashid Street is a favorite for roadside bombers near the Tigris River.



OK! It is way past FUBAR. Please Bring The Troops Home!!

3. There are a hundred reasons

to come home--right now home--and an innocent man shot in the head in front of his children is certainly as good a reason as any.

4. I am certain that LeftChick would agree with you.

I don't know how long you've been a member of DU, but DUers have posted myriad reasons why we should not be in Iraq. LC's is yet another valid reason.

Why do you have such a problem with that?
