Totally fanatical about security and defense. The entire country was in martial law since the war, and all vehicular and foot traffic was stopped at 2200 hours. Check points were put out, and all roads were closed. Approaching a check point one had best be in a U.S. military vehicle. It was unnerving when pulling up to one, you would hear bolts slam shut on either side of you.</blockquote>
