#1 Um...That should be "Iraqis riot..."

I should add that a rising barometer indicates weather is clearing, likely becoming sunny, while a falling barometer indicates cloudy conditions and likely precipitation, so that's another idiotic metaphor butchered.

#2 Trouble started in Kut, 95 miles southeast of Baghdad, when about 400 protesters marched for a third straight day on a government building to demand jobs.

Was anyone carrying a said that read in Arabic: "Will riot for food"?

#3 If you don't have jobs move to Baghdad or Basra where there are jobs. Idiots expect everything on a silver platter now. I bet most of them were ex-Iraqi Army personnel too.
