#1 By now it's just intolerable that police recruits do not travel in armed convoys. It's obvious that they are a prime target for all sorts of troublemakers, and they should be armed to the teeth.

#2 I'm still surprised at how many Iraqi office holders (judges,lawyers,legislators,police recruits. etc.) are shot to death without putting up a fight. Even Iraqi homes are allowed to have an AK-47 apiece for self-defense, even prayer leaders in mosques carry arms, so why aren't these folks packing heat? Utopian pacificism? Stupidity?

#3 Possibly the fatalism of the "Inshallah" philosophy, Slaviger Angomong7708. What use to fight what God wills?

#4 Did it ever occur to them that maybe God wants them to fight and live?
