"A VIEW FROM BAGHDAD"


1 of 10

"SUPPORTING SADDAM" Thousands of Iraqis march through the streets of Baghdad, voicing their support for longtime leader Saddam Hussein and against the impending war.

Gloom filled the sky as bombs rained down and the number of dead and wounded grew by the day. No one knows how many perished in the initial phase of the war. Only one thing is certain; the lives of all Iraqis will never be the same.
