...Iraqi soldiers are a force of truly desperate men--a thin line of conscripts, many of them drawn from Shi'ite and Kurdish communities that despise Saddam. Kuwaiti guards report that when Iraqi soldiers swarmed across the border 12 1/2 years ago and began a seven-month looting spree, the first stop for the occasionally barefoot Iraqis was not the luxury-car dealers but the food stores. And back then they were better looked after. Last year an Iraqi border guard fled to Kuwait and pleaded, "Take me anywhere. Do anything to me. Just don't send me back...
