Good Wa Po editorial on the fact that we've only just finished Day Five.And a fantastic column from Richard Cohen, "Safe Driving in Baghdad".
I hope -- but I do not expect -- that the world in general, and particularly the Muslim world, notices what you and I notice. I hope people note that about 600 journalists are embedded with allied forces, reporting from the battlefield virtually without censorship...
When last I looked, the lights were on in Baghdad and cars could be seen scurrying to and fro. The so-called coalition of the willing -- mainly America and Britain with a dash of Australia -- will win this war. But in a way, the winning of it is being accomplished in the waging of it -- and the unseen drivers of those cars at the bottom of the TV screen know it better than anyone. Already, they must trust America more than they possibly could their own regime.
