Imagine

Suppose the Iraqi government decides to arrest a few Blackwater contractors and put them on trial. What do you think the U.S. would do in response? And what do you think the Iraqi's would do in response to our response?

Iraqi authorities said Saturday that they have a videotape of the shootings in Nisur Square last Sunday by Blackwater security guards, which shows that they fired without provocation. The company has maintained that its personnel were responding to incoming fire. There is now talk in Baghdad of trying the guards, though a decree by US viceroy Paul Bremer may hold the US nationals harmless.
