A soldier, unnecessarily hostile, was grabbing an Iraqi man, appeared to be in his 40s, by his collar and pushing him hard to the ground.
He then started to examine the man's belongings; they were scattered on the ground. A few ID cards were there, so was a pack of Viceroy cigarettes, which was unexplainably thrown away by the aggressive soldier.
The soldier began to tie the man's hands behind his back with what appeared to be a plastic cord. The same type is used by Israeli soldiers in the Palestinian occupied territories.
An Iraqi family complete with a husband, wife and 2 children were pulled out of their house by coalition force soldiers. All the family looked scared and the 2 cute children (not older than ten years) also had their hands up, with the machine gun barrel pointing down at them. This is liberation?

"We don't need water; we don't need food. We need (the U.S. soldiers) to respect our dignity. They are forcing our women to take off their clothes at the checkpoint," he said. Embarrassed, the man tried to hide his tears.

In an interview with Gulf News in Kuwait on Thursday, British army spokesman Colonel Chris Vernon said: "We are trying to demonstrate our friendship to the Iraqi people. We understand and respect their culture and traditions, that is why our soldiers are asked to talk to men not to women. Of course they can talk to women if women talk to them. But don't worry about the British army, we have experience in this region and its various cultures."

biruwa,
I appreciate you posting views of both sides but you can see that this not something new. The Iraqi's narrate true stories of suffering, the brits (and americans) sweet talk their way out of everything
