Its still too soon for the passage of time to soften the clarity of the horror or to ease the discomfort of being a bystander to the deaths of 28 americans. I am constantly struck by the indiscriminate nature of those deaths. Three times in be been. Drawn Back to the scene in part to Ponder the absolutely freakish demise of 28 Young people and the maiming of dozens More. And by of All things a scud missile. Manes by that night of feb. 25, Iraq had launched More than 70 of the things creating a widespread panic but accomplishing almost nothing desert dispatches militarily. Two civilians had died in Israel one in the saudi capital of Riyadh. This time though As the disintegrating missile plummeted to Earth the warhead found a Mark.

Flames towered above the neighbourhood a mixture of Industrial buildings commercial operations and vacant desert. There was no easy Avenue of approach. The Way was easy blocked by crowds by Cement Walls and by police. Cutting through the desert and a Small Marsh i jumped a Fence and stumbled into the building or at least what  of it. Soldiers were running everywhere soot covered see disaster on Page 10
