Delsuions of Endearment
From NYT, 5/31:
They love us everywhere we go, so when in doubt, send the Marines.
KABUL, Afghanistan, May 29 — a deadly traffic accident caused by a United States military convoy quickly touched off a full-blown anti-American riot on Monday that raged across much of the Afghan capital, leaving at least 14 people dead and scores injured. Skip to next paragraphHundreds of protesters looted shops in Kabul and shouted "Death to America!" Witnesses said American soldiers fired on Afghans throwing stones at them after the crash, though the United States military said only that warning shots had been fired in the air. But the crash tapped into a latent resentment of the American military presence here, and violence radiated quickly through the city as rumors circulated that the crash might have been deliberate.
