Of Cards And Chaos

So by now we've all seen the news of looting and chaos in Baghdad and Basra. And the coalition forcesí unwillingness to stop it. But hey, don't blame them. They're trying to police the globe; you can't expect them to police a whole city!

And by now you've also seen the news about the "Most Wanted" playing cards that are being handed out so soldiers can identify the 50 or so top members of the (former) Iraqi regime who are soughtódead or alive.

That's a nice touch, isn't it?

Apparently the trading of these cards is hot and heavy among US soldiers. Particularly desirable is the Osama bin Laden rookie terrorist card, and the weapons of mass distrustion cardóboth very hard to find anywhere in Iraq.
