U.S. Aircraft Drop Leaflets Over Southern Iraq "For a second time this month, U.S. aircraft dropped leaflets over Iraq, trying to persuade Iraqi troops not to fire on coalition aircraft patrolling the southern no-fly zone. The leaflets were printed in Arabic. An English translation supplied by the Pentagon reads, "Before you engage coalition aircraft, think about the consequences," and on the other side it reads, "Think about your family, do what you must to survive." The other leaflet reads, "Reaction if you decide." Both fliers depict images of Iraqi forces firing on coalition aircraft and then being destroyed by coalition aircraft."
