Iraq Eases Tight Security After Election |
2005-12-18 |
![]() With Thursday's voting held peacefully, Iraqi officials also reopened border crossings, except on the frontier with Syria. They said the Syrian crossings would resume in a few days, but did not say why there was a delay. There were few violent incidents reported for a third day. In four shootings, attackers killed a former Iraqi air force officer, a member of a prominent Shiite party and two policemen, authorities said. The U.S. command also reported the death of a Marine from a non-hostile wound. |

#2 Although I want to see peace in Iraq, I don't think that outlawing all vehicular traffic beyond a couple of days for elections is practicable. |

#1 Why? Until the "insurgency" is DEAD, why in the world would this even be considered, much less done without the least challenge to the "logic"? Don't like it, Iraqis? Then stop them and help us to help you do it. |
