Radical Muslims disapprove of the alcohol trade and attacks against liquor stores

Sounds like they need an Abdul Capone to rise up and assert control over the situation.

At least seven alcohol shops have been bombed or shot at in the Iraqi capital in the past two days, shop owners and witnesses said, in the latest in a wave of suspected religion-backed violence against alcohol sellers.

Yep Al Quaida's mission-
No education for women and no alcohol for anyone.

Now-the liberals might actually be squirming a bit.

Oh--BTW---this might suggest the next target could be a few stills in the backwoods of Appalachia. or yuppie home brew basements for that matter.

My son who is vacationing in Baghdad tells me the locals invoke Islam when it would be to their gain but otherwise live like Southern Californicans.

Attackers blew up five alcohol stores along a street in a Christian district of Baghdad overnight, the latest in a series of such strikes by suspected Muslim radicals.

In other news, Senator Edward Kennedy has reversed his previous position on Iraq and now fully supports the Bush efforts there. Kennedy said, "We've got to get those sick, twisted bastards".

"Save the Ales!"

Attackers blow up five liquor stores

Wasting perfectly good liquor, if that's not a violation of international law the Geneva Convention needs to be amended!
