Krigen mot terror er blitt en samfunnstilstand, skriver Henrik Thune.

IRAQ. Nineveh. 2006. The wary inhabitants of this isolated village in Nineveh had never seen an American patrol, andasked what country they were from. They had heard of America, and served sugary tea to thesoldiers but otherwise kept their distance. The troops took turns riding the donkey and posedfor pictures holding lambs. In the Bible, Nineveh is described as a wicked city. God sent theprophet Jonah to preach there, and its inhabitants repented. God decided to spare the city.
Frigjørere?: Innbyggerne i den irakiske byen Nineveh hadde aldri sett amerikanske soldater, før sistnevnte en dag i 2006 kunne ses ridende rundt på landsbyens esler mens de lot seg ta bilde av. Landets tidligere diktator Saddam Hussein ble i desember 2006 dømt til døden og henrettet.
