Online NewsHour: Waiting for War -- March 19, 2003



From PBS News Hour, this is reporter John Burns from the New York Times:



"Iraqis have suffered beyond I think the common understanding in the United States from the repression of the past 30 years here. And many, many Iraqis are telling us now-- not always in the whispers that we only heard in the past, but now in quite candid conversations-- that they are waiting for America to come and bring them liberty."



"I just say there is absolutely no doubt, no doubt that there are many, many Iraqis who see what is about to happen here as the moment of liberation."
