Baghdad braces for invasion
Iraqis prepare
for U.S.-led war
against Iraq
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) —
Armed with machine guns and
rocket-propelled grenades,
police deployed around key
western Baghdad installations
Wednesday in their first major
drill of wartime defense.
Saddam Hussein ordered
every Iraqi to dig a trench for
protection during war.
Two French Mirage recon-
naissance planes flew over
Iraq in support of U.N.
weapons inspections for the
first time, Iraq's Foreign
Ministry said. Three American
U-2 spy planes, which fly at
higher altitudes than the
Mirage, have already made
similar runs.
Civilian cars and trucks
packed with police cruised the
streets. A Jeep was parked on
a downtown street, mounted
with an anti-aircraft gun. Two
portly traffic cops in blue uni-
forms tried on green mesh-

mosque.
People went about their
business normally. Traffic was
heavy, stores did bustling
business and intercity buses
arrived from and departed for
remote Iraqi provinces.
Saddam met with the gover-

zens: "They have to dig
trenches in their gardens," the
official Iraqi News Agency
reported.
"Tell every citizen to go with
his family to the trenches dur-
ing raids, so that even if a shell
falls on their house, God for-
bid, a deep trench will protect
them," the news agency quot-
ed Saddam as telling the gov-
ernors.
The governors told the pres-
ident they had completed
preparations "to confront the
invaders," the news agency
said, adding that they formed
"jihad groups of clerics and
tribesmen to fight the
invaders and commando units
to hunt helicopters."
There was no official com-
ment on the Baghdad drill, but
Iraqi news media reported
Wednesday that Saddam, in a
meeting with police com-
manders Tuesday night, asked
the commander of west
Baghdad traffic police whether
his men had carried out a drill.
"Tomorrow a drill will be
carried out," the commander,
who wasn't identified, was
quoted as saying.
"Good," Saddam reportedly
responded.
Western Baghdad contains
most government buildings
and presidential palaces, while
the east of the city is largely
residential.
The police commander was
quoted as saying his men had
already carried out drills in the
past, though there has never
been any evidence of drills on
the streets.
Even as Iraq prepared for
war, it signaled it wanted
peace. Newspapers appealed
Wednesday to members of the
U.N. Security Council to
reject appeals from the United
States to support a resolution
authorizing an attack.
"Members have a great
responsibility ... to make sure
that the Security Council is a
tool to preserve security, not a
tool or a cover used to wage
aggressive wars," Al-Thawra,
the newspaper of the ruling
Baath Party, said in a front-
page editorial.
Underage drinking a fifth of
nation's alchohol consumtion
Study reevaluates alcohol consumption
to correct last year s botched report
CHICAGO (AP) —
Underage drinkers account for
nearly 20 percent of the alco-
hol consumed in the United
States each year, according to a
study by Columbia
University's National Center
on Addiction and Substance
Abuse.
Attempting to correct
botched statistics they
released a year ago,
researchers from the
Columbia center analyzed
three sets of data from 1999
and said underage drinking
amounted to 19.7 percent of
alcohol consumed that year, or
$22.5 billion.
The previous estimate —
now discredited— was 25 per-
cent.
"Excessive" drinking by
adults — consumption of more
than two drinks daily —
amounted to 30.4 percent, or
$34.4 billion, the researchers
said. The researchers' defini-
tion of excessive drinking is
anything exceeding govern-
ment guidelines for moderate
drinking.
"These analyses show that
it is not in the alcohol indus-
try's financial interest to vol-
untarily enact strategies to
reduce underage or adult
excessive drinking," the
researchers said.
The Columbia center is an
advocacy group led by Joseph
Califano Jr., a former U.S. sec-
retary of health, education and
welfare, who has been an out-
spoken critic of alcohol mar-
keters.
The group issued a report
last year saying that young
people ages 12 through 20
consume 25 percent of the
nation's alcohol, a figure based
on the 1998 National
Household Survey of Drug
Abuse. Critics questioned the
statistics, and Califano's group
acknowledged it failed to
adjust its figures to reflect
teens' percentage of the
nation's population.
The new analysis appears in
Wednesday's Journal of the
American Medical
Association.
It included data from the
1999 version of the household
survey, which involved more
than 50,000 people aged 12
and older questioned at home.
It also included data from two
surveys of young people 12
and older who were ques-
tioned at school.
Representatives of the alco-
hol industry called the new
study as faulty as the old one,
and questioned the
researchers' definition of
excessive adult drinking.
The government agency
that conducts the household
survey, the Substance Abuse
and Mental Health Services
Administration, has estimated
the percentage of alcohol con-
sumed by youngsters at 11.4
percent.
Califano's figure is higher
because he based it on differ-
ent sources, and his research
seems sound, said Charles
Curie, administrator of the
agency.
"I give them credit that they
wanted to clarify the figures,"
In the long run,
men hit only what
they aim at.
Therefore...
they had better
aim at
something high.
- Henry David Thoureau
