...made more sense to me than any of those delusional claims of "Mission Accomplished." Larry Maysack Haymarket, Virginia, U.S. Ghosh says that Baghdad's residents are experiencing "Life in Hell." Iraq isn't exactly paradise, but perhaps Ghosh should have spent time in other places, say, Darfur, the Ninth Ward of New Orleans or Iraq under Saddam Hussein. William West Fairborn, Ohio, U.S. Of all the accounts coming out of Iraq, this article has best captured the des- pair and fear gripping the citizens of a country that is no longer a country.
