...summed up what happened and its consequences [March 22]. It is still shocking to think about the horror. Some people hold Prime Minister José María Aznar responsible for the attacks and view them as retaliation for his decision to join the U.S. in the war against Saddam Hussein. But many Spaniards do not blame Aznar. Can people really believe terrorists attack only "guilty" nations and leave "innocent" countries alone? Do the victims deserve to die because of what their country has done in Iraq? We must stand together against any kind of terrorism, no matter who receives...

Fallujah, a city of about 300,000, is the hotbed of this bandit country, and it was there that Zovko, 32, was passing through with three colleagues on the morning of March 31. Like Zovko, all the others--Scott Helvenston, 38; Wesley Batalona...
...many ordinary Iraqis, for whom sadistic brutality was a regular feature of life under Saddam, the scenes in Fallujah provoked outpourings of shame over the mob's desecration of the dead. Because of the sheer savagery of the attack and the likelihood of U.S. retaliation, last week's massacre also heightened the sense of uncertainty about what comes next. The Bush Administration insists that it will hand over power to some form of interim Iraqi government by June 30.
