It now seems clear that Iraq was better off under SH

Or at the very least, it will be a good long while until they are better off.



Death on the road to Basra

They are Shia Muslims, persecuted by Saddam Hussein. After the war, many of them welcomed the coalition forces but now they blame the Americans.

"I thought they came here to protect us and give us security," the dead boy's mother says.

Wounded children sway US battle for Iraqi hearts and minds "Instead there's death and more suffering."

She looks at the body of her son, which has been covered by a blanket. Tears run down her face. Another woman kneels down, she is frustrated.

"I can't understand - why has this happened?" she asks.

A few minutes later, the boy's father lifts the body into the boot of a car. The father is crying as he drives off to the hospital morgue.
My translator, Wissam, is furious.

"Why didn't the Americans stop when they saw they'd run over the child?" he asks me.
