#2 We support the decision of the new government to launch the war against terror and to hunt all the Arabs,"

Am i the only one who sees the irony in that banner? ;) Think of the outrage if a banner like that were raised in Israel, the US, or the Netherlands for that matter. Not that im saying one should be, mind you. Just enjoying the irony. In Iraq today, the pendulum has swung so far against pan-arab nationalism (at least outside the Sunni triangle) that "arabs" is assumed to mean non-Iraqis.

#4 Sometimes I dream about a future Iraq invading Arabia, cleansing the viper's nest and letting the Seoud with only the Nejd: the oilless desert where they came from (it would also mean they would no longer control Mecca and Medina)

#5 Sudanese Idriss Daoud, 35, who quit his studies at Baghdad's art college because of the new attitude among Iraqis.

Sort of like all those Sudanese Christians who've quit life because of the attitude among those in power in Khartoum?
