#1 Not good. Coppers need a better training. Regardless whether the complaint was legitimate or not. One does not beat a cop for an outage.

#2 Hey, it's Iraq. You didn't think they were actually going to become civilized? It's just a countdown until the next Saddam takes over.

#3 Nassiriya is about 150km northwest of Basra. The latter city, if anyone bothered to remember, had a similar riot on Saturday. I suspected then that it was Shiite elements who weren't happy with the Basra Provincial Council's "failure" in upholding sharia law.

That's likely a similar case here.

#4 what does telling Afghans from Arabs have to do with this story? And you don't have to be an expert on Iraq to know how this story is gonna end.
