Garner

In Baghdad’s streets, people pressed on
with their daily struggle to restore some nor
malcy to life two weeks after the U.S.-
British invasion force ousted Saddam, took
control of Iraq and set off a rampage of loot
ing and arson by Iraqis.
Electricity, knocked out during U.S.
bombing in early April, was only slowly
being restored. Supplies of clean pumped
water, dependent on electric power,
remained largely cut off. Almost all shops
remained closed. In a still mostly lawless
city, looters picked at buildings not yet emp
tied of fixtures and merchandise.
“We need security, we need peace, we
need law,” a writer and retired English
teacher, Youarash Haidou, told Garner at a
“town hall meeting” that started the retired
general’s day in Baghdad, after he spent two
days touring northern Iraq.
The “town hall meeting,” staged in a
giant conference hall behind the security of
U.S. tanks and combat troops, was attended
by no more than 60 university professors
and government bureaucrats, all men, cho
sen in some undisclosed manner.
“My superior came to us last night and
said we were required to attend,” one aca
demic confided to a reporter.
The process has been similarly murky for
moving Iraq toward an “interim authority,”
a provisional government led by a new pres
ident that would prepare the way for demo
cratic elections two years or more in the
future, in a country divided between Sunni
and Shiite, Kurd and Arab.
In Washington, Defense Secretary
Donald H. Rumsfeld told The Associated
Press that the “beginning of an interim
authority” would come soon, though he
added, “I don’t know quite what ‘soon’
means.
But he said the United States will jj s p or

allow a religious government, likeli
take hold in Iraq, as some Shiites deni
“If you’re suggesting, how woult

Gildner said. “He was a rock.”
When the speech was deliv
ered in the spring of 1988, all
fears were dispelled, he said.
Amid the controversy created
by the missile buildup on both
sides of the iron curtain, Bitberg
was a critical event for the young
Republic of Germany. The
Reagan administration was, at
that time, fighting for the hearts
and minds of those affected by
Soviet domination, Gildner said.
In this respect the Bitberg
speech was a success, he said.
Gildner said the profession he
chose and the environment in
which he worked was influenced
by great speakers such as
Thomas Jefferson and Abraham
Lincoln.
“One of the many skills of a
speechwriter is being a good pla
giarist,” Gildner said. “When
you really wanted to say some
thing important, we went back to
Lincoln.”
Gildner praised President
George W. Bush on the job he
has done in office, as well as the
skills of his senior speechwriter,
Mike Gerson.
Gildner said Gerson has
recently published his first novel
“Ghost Image,” a medical
thriller. Gerson will be signing
copies of his book and answer
ing questions tonight at 7 p.m. at
the Barnes and Noble on Texas
Avenue.

Defense Minister Kim II Choi
was quoted as saying by
KCNA.
Still, North Korea said it
was ready to settle the dispute
over its suspected nuclear
weapons programs and that the
“master key” for successful
talks was for the United States
to drop its hostile policy
toward Pyongyang.
Late Wednesday, Chinese
Loreign Minister Li Zhaoxing
