In what turned out to be uncannily prophetic, in February of this year Saddam Hussein had likened theAmericans to the Mongol hordes that had destroyed Baghdad in 1258. Bush as a modern-day Hulagu, Genghis Khan’sgrandson, has since unleashed his hordes riding Humvees and Bradleys, and like the Mongols who often droveslaves, conquering armies and mercenaries ahead to do the dirty job of fighting and pillaging cities on their path, thisnew horde set ‘liberated’ Iraqis on the loose in their own cities.
