US doesn't open fire on Iraqi demonstration!

news.bbc.co.uk...

"Thousands of Shia and Sunni Muslims have marched through Baghdad protesting against the US occupation, and demanding a say in the new Iraqi Government. "

All going according... to... plan... or maybe not...

"The Americans fear that if they rush to empower a group of "emerging leaders", this might produce a weak and unstable government.

But if they govern the country themselves - and control its oil and its oil revenues - they risk being increasingly resented as a new colonial power. "

Dom...

Though I tend to agree...that the newsworthy bit, is that we DIDN'T shoot any of them... this time...

[sarcasm]

I demand an inquiry into why no protesters were shot.

[/sarcasm]

from the s*h*i*f*t in the magnetic poles....

Yeah, yeah, that's it....that's the ticket!


P.S.-Why does it edit S*h*i*r*t and S*h*i*f*t???

I did like the line that most Americans think Sunni and Shia were a famous pop duo from the 1960's.
