Iraqi Resistance to Foreign Occupation Enjoys Great Popular Support
by Sami Ramadani
It was my first and brutally abrupt realization that Baghdad, the city
of my childhood, is now occupied territory. It was also my first
encounter with a potent symbol of Iraqi hostility to the occupation
forces. Sitting in the front seat of the taxi that brought us from
Amman, I suddenly realized that a heavy machine gun was pointing at us
from only a few meters away. It was an American soldier aboard an
armored vehicle in front of us, stuck in a traffic jam on the
outskirts of Baghdad. He gestured disapprovingly towards our driver
for approaching with some speed, then looked to his left and angrily
stuck out a middle finger. I followed his gaze and there was a child
of no more than eight or nine sitting in a chair in front of the open
gates leading to the garden of his house. He was shouting angrily,
with a clenched fist of defiance, cutting the air with swift and
furious right hooks.
