FRONT PAGE: IRAQ, APRIL 14, 2003

The following is a gathering of today's journal reports about a Iraq predicament from around a republic as good as around a world. It is a sampling of opposite perspectives, written to suggest a single some-more context in to a conflict. Compiled by CBSNews.com's Andrew Cohen.

From around a country:

David R. Francis of a Christian Science Monitor looked during Iraq's monetary situation: "After World War I, a winning allies attempted to pick up $33 billion in reparations from degraded Germany. It was a catastrophic process a single which fueled German resentment, presumably contributing to a successive climb of Hitler. Today, a knocked about Iraq faces distant larger debt problems radically a inhabitant failure on a scale with couple of parallels. That's a single reason why, notwithstanding their feud about a fight itself, a 7 largest industrial nations concluded this past week end to pull for debt redemption even yet a small of them have been due estimable sums. It was a start. But a negotiations won't be easy as good as could take a small time. Iraq's general debts have been a largest of any building republic by a single economist's reckoning, $387 billion. 'It's a towering of debt,' says Alan Krueger, an economist during Princeton University. 'It would volume to $16,000 for each man, woman, as good as kid in Iraq, many times per capita income.'"

Toya Lynn Stewart of a Dallas Morning News looked inside Texas classrooms: "'What happens if you find out my infantryman gets killed in Iraq?' It was a subject acted to Grand Prairie clergyman Rowena Freeman not long ago as her seventh-grade category was decorating envelopes to send to soldiers in Iraq. 'I was taken aback, yet you didn't evade a question,' pronounced Mrs. Freeman, an English clergyman during Arnold Middle School. 'It was in a dilemma of my thoughts prior to you proposed essay letters, then, lo as good as behold, a students brought it up in class.' Because a small area schools have students in infantry letter-writing campaigns, teachers identical to Mrs. Freeman have wondered how or either they would mangle a headlines if a infantry coop companion were to die on a battlefield. 'It's a single of those things that's unavoidable people have been failing on both sides,' pronounced Karl Ostrowski, a embankment clergyman during Sam Houston High School in Arlington. 'How do you have them wakeful as good as not shock them? We speak about it yet don't try to be endangered them. If you were to listen to something about a single of a soldiers, I'm not certain we'd have a open announcement. I'm certain a word would spread, as good as afterwards a counselors would be accessible to a students.'"

James Ferragut of a Fargo (N.D.) Forum wrote this column: "The fight in Iraq has been played out on multiform stages. The fight has plain await in between Americans. But there is still a dynamic shred which is opposite to a war. That is approaching and, for my money, should be encouraged. Dissent is partial as good as parcel of a inherent rights. Film builder Michael Moore finished a dope of himself, broke those examination him as good as angry a boss all in a single svelte pierce whilst usurpation a Best Documentary Academy Award for his 'Bowling for Columbine.' The Academy Awards cabinet had urged which no a single have sincere domestic statements, pro or con, in acceptance speeches. The man/child Moore couldn't enclose himself as good as reveled in a severity of his debate when he announced 'Shame on you, Mr. Bush … Shame on you,' as he exited a theatre to a carol of jeers as good as cheers. In a press interview, when asked how he could have finished such a thing, he simply pronounced … 'Because, I'm American.' It's hapless he didn't have a tie which his right to contend what he did was during a responsibility of thousands of American lives mislaid in wars over generations. Moore's mistake pas had reduction to do with his right to giveaway debate than his incapacity to reside by manners of custom during a cool event. The Dixie Chicks' Natalie Maines schooled a tough way. The repercussions of her matter to an assembly in London which she was '… abashed which a boss of a United States is from Texas …' have been serious. The Dixie Chicks song has been criminialized by hundreds of Country air wave stations. There have been orderly incidents of Dixie Chicks CD as good as memorabilia burnings. And a Chicks have mislaid as good as alienated formerly true as good as dedicated fans. Such is a caprice of an romantic American public. What you have to be clever about is which a Susan Sarandons, Ted Dansons, Sean Penns as good as Martin Sheens of a universe aren't called un-American given of their views. If you don't wish celebrities vocalization for you, it's easy to voice your disapproval. Vote with your pocketbook. Don't go to their cinema as good as don't buy their CDs. But for God's sake, don't specify them as being 'un-American.'"

Patty Vannoy of a Lincoln (Neb.) Journal Star filed this: "The Sanjay Gupta who grew up in Lincoln wasn't declared a single of a country's many authorised bachelors in People magazine. The 39-year-old former Lincoln medicine is tied together with 3 children. But he's perceived countless inquiries in to his temperament given which alternative Sanjay Gupta went on a air as a CNN fight correspondent. 'There's a lot of coincidences. I'm a surgeon as well,' a former Nebraskan said. But a TV publisher is a neurosurgeon as good as Sanjay K. Gupta practices on ears, noses as good as throats in Minneapolis. Gupta, who graduated from a University of Nebraska-Lincoln as good as a NU Medical Center, pronounced he initial listened of his luminary reflection from his brother, Ashok, who went to healing propagandize in Michigan with a CNN reporter. Gupta doesn't consider he as good as his associate surgeon demeanour a lot alike, yet a small of Gupta's patients as good as colleagues have in error him for a fight correspondent. 'The droll partial is you have people asking me if he's my brother,' he pronounced in a write speak Sunday. Gupta suspicion it was funny, he said, which a small suspicion his mom competence dub dual sons with a same name. Gupta's mom gets utterly a couple of queries herself. Uma Gupta, who lives in Lincoln, pronounced she'd perceived a lot of phone calls quite from acquaintances who had young kids who went to propagandize with her son. Gupta has perceived e-mails thanking him for his TV reports as good as was even offering a list in a bustling grill as good as a make make use of of of a in isolation practice trickery during a new outing to Las Vegas."

Bryan Dean of a Oklahoma City Daily Oklahoman offering this: "Anna Jones had a lot on her thoughts as she entered a post office. Her son is aboard a USS Emory S. Land in a Persian Gulf. She hadn't seen him in months. She went to a post bureau to mail a package to her 2-year-old granddaughter, who lives in Italy with her mother. Suddenly, a highlight of being detached from her family as good as worrying about her son overcame her, as good as she could no longer reason behind a tears. 'I proposed great profusely. you couldn't talk,' Jones said. 'It got 'way still in a post office, as good as I'm apologizing as good as explaining to them which my son is out on a boat as good as you haven't seen him or talked to him as good as my granddaughter is branch 2.' Fortunately, Jones knew she had a place to go where people would understand. She is partial of a await organisation for staff during Deaconess Hospital with desired ones portion in a military. Jones proposed a organisation in Feb with Denise Menefee, who has dual sons in a military, as good as Jana Galpin, whose father has been activated with a Navy Reserves for some-more than a year. Jones pronounced a organisation helps her understanding with situations identical to a a single she faced during a post office. 'They assimilate how you feel,' Jones said. 'We're identical to family. you was astounded during how easy it was for us to interact.'"

And from around a world:

The Jordan Times focused on Iraq's future: "His Majesty King Abdullah on Sunday stressed a significance of a United Nations purpose in Iraq, quite a smoothness of benefit as good as simple amicable services to a Iraqi people, a Royal Court matter said. Meeting yesterday with Ramiro Lopes da Silva, a U.N. Humanitarian Coordinator in Iraq, as good as Christine McNab, U.N. Resident Representative in Jordan, in a participation of Her Majesty Queen Rania, King Abdullah pronounced Jordan was assured which a United Nations will strive each bid to yield many indispensable social, healing as good as sanitation services to a Iraqi people.

The King indicated which Jordan is rebuilt to coordinate with a U.N. in assisting yield Iraq with a required service supplies. Their Majesties pronounced they were really endangered about a deteriorating health, vital as good as certainty conditions of millions of Iraqis. King Abdullah stressed a coercion of a U.S. as good as British infantry presumption their responsibilities to revive law as good as sequence as good as promote a tasks of a governments as good as NGOs [non-governmental organizations] peaceful to yield await as good as benefit to a Iraqi people."

The Kuwait Times focused on healing courtesy for Iraqis: "The initial collection of Kuwaiti doctors left here yesterday for a southern Iraqi pier city of Umm Qasr to weigh residents' needs as good as yield healing assistance. Health Ministry executive Mussa Al-Juwaiser pronounced a Kuwaiti group comprised surgeons, gynecologists as good as obstetricians. A Kuwaiti lady alloy is additionally in between them, to assistance provide Iraqi women, Al-Juwaiser said. A illness core in Umm Qasr is right away being run by Kuwaiti doctors operative to a single side Iraqi doctors, he added. On Friday, Kuwait sent a craft with 5 tons of healing assist to Iraqis in jeopardy by a charitable catastrophe. The emirate had formerly finished with multiform convoys carrying necessary products by land to Iraq. Aid organizations have warned Iraq was confronting a charitable mess in between drawn out looting as good as anarchy. Meanwhile, British armed forces engineers brought complicated digging apparatus in to Iraq's second-largest city of Basra yesterday after locals claimed which prisoners were trapped in cells underneath a categorical military station."

The Tehran Times reported from Baghdad: "Several dozen Iraqis Sunday staged a initial anti-U.S. proof in Baghdad given American forces arrived to a comfortable acquire final week, in between ascent annoy over drawn out looting given Saddam Hussein's system of administration collapsed. But nearby a recruitment table in a Palestine Hotel, demonstrators carried a banner, "Bush = Saddam." U.S. forces began a overwhelming charge of restoring normalcy to a republic ravaged by years of fight as good as sanctions, environment up an operations core to shade Iraqi workers in a heart of a smashed capital. They chanted: "There is usually a single God as good as America is a rivalry of God!" as good as "We will scapegoat a souls as good as a red blood for Iraq!" One protester pronounced a proof was meant "to discuss it a Americans which they're a ones who put Saddam in energy as good as right away they're starting to try to force on us alternative rulers you don't want." Only state-organized demonstrations were authorised during Saddam's twenty-four years of iron-fisted rule, during which he finished Baghdad well well known as a universe citadel of anti-Americanism. But nearby a site of a tiny protest, hundreds of locals queued up for their initial jobs in a post-Saddam area, triggering large trade jams in executive Baghdad."
