An Inclusive Litany
4/15/03
On April 15, the Seattle City Council
issued a statement of support for U.S. troops fighting in Iraq. This
came just as U.S. Marines, encountering unexpectedly light resistance,
entered the city of Tikrit, their last major military objective in the
war. The Seattle Times
reports that "it took the council over a month to craft the
resolution," somewhat longer than it took the armed forces to defeat
Iraq's military forces.
