Lt. Gen (retd.) Jay Garner of the U.S. in Baghdad on Monday.

Baghdad April 21. The retired U.S. Lt. Gen., Jay Garner, who is overseeing Iraq's reconstruction after the toppling of Saddam Hussein's regime, arrived in the Iraqi capital today. ``What better day in your life can you have than to be able to help somebody else, to help other people, and that is what we intend to do,'' he said after arriving at the Baghdad airport from Kuwait.

Lt. Gen. Garner said his priority was to restore the basic services such as water and electricity ``as soon as we can'', and acknowledged that the job would take intense work.
