July 8, 2004 - If there's an outcry from Iraq's population about the
new Baghdad government's self-decreed power to impose martial law,
it's probably the Arabic equivalent of hip-hip-hooray—and from all
sides. Polls show that most Iraqis, hoping for the best, would be
happy to see any measure that might create order out of the chaos that
America has brought them. The insurgents aren't worried, either.
They're hoping for the worst, and the more often martial law is
applied, the more recruits will come to their ranks, or so they think.
