What can you do? It's an entire country with millions of people. Fixing it is going to tick off the relatively few nutjobs. Finding and killing as many as possible is the only thing that helps, but I dunno what can prevent these things from happening altogether.

Arnott/MSNBC: Can't solidly determine direction, due to echoes off of taller buildings.

I must be becoming dyslexic in my old age. I thought you had written "cause nuclear." I gave myself quite a scare there.

Well, lets not blow them up. That's ok, aim somewhere else.

Mortars are tubes you drop a charge into and it flys to its target.....you shot it pretty much straight up and toward a chosen target.

Sadr city is anti-Saddam, true, but definitely NOT pro-U.S.

Previously known as Saddam City... you should check out who this Sadr guy is and why he is in the position to have the neighborhood named after him.

"World reportedly ending Tuesday, but first a late development in the Peterson case."

Are you serious? Unbelieveble. I really wish they'd leave that crap for Court TV and stick with the news.

Saddam thought it was a damn funny joke to make these Shias live in Saddam City-- like Gray Davis changing the name of Orange County to Gray Davis County.
