I bet those carrying the weapons are hand-picked for licensing OR were given the rifles as part of the "celebration."

I can't really believe that the populace at large is allowed to own any kind of firearms.


But if that woman is representative of Iraq, as a whole, we just might have to wipe out entire city blocks.

I echo each of those sentiments. :-) Even IF, and I say, IF, the population is pro-Saddam (they aren't), one very large thermobaric bomb that blows up a mountain right next to them -- doesn't harm anybody, even, mind you -- might have some serious psychological impact. Remember those lines of the "elite" guard surrendering by the thousands in Iraq in Desert Storm? :p
