: Marines 'liberate' Iraqi village
It started with the kids. Somehow it always does - curiosity elbowing aside shyness of strangers and parents' admonitions for caution.
"Ameericaah?" a little girl asked a Marine who had entered her village and taken a defensive position as others began to search homes. The streets were deserted. People peered around their gates.
Later a Marine spoke to the crowd and asked the name of the local party official. People looked sheepish and did not give it.
"I know you think Saddam Hussein may not be finished, but I'm telling you he is," said the soldier, who requested anonymity. "I know you are afraid. Look at the soldiers behind me. We've all come to rid you of Saddam. You don't need to be afraid any more."
The crowd of about 100 people immediately broke into applause. It was obvious they had learned in the past to cheer anything any official said.
