| Iraqis storm their embassy in Iran |
| 2003-04-11 |
| Around 200 Iraqis have stormed their embassy in the Iranian capital and smashed photographs of Saddam Hussein. "No Saddam! No US puppet regime! We want freedom," the crowd chanted. Police say no Iraqi diplomats have been in the building since Thursday. Windows and furniture were also vandalised, and the only item spared seemed to be embassy documents, which people in the crowd were seen taking away. There are about 200,000 Iraqis living in Iran, many of them Shiite Muslims who fled after a failed Shiite uprising against Saddam in 1991. Tens of thousands of the Iraqis in Iran live in the capital. |

| #6 The Good Cop -Bad Cop charade we played before the UN is over. The Axis of Weasel, Kofi , and the rest of the Incontinent Dog and Monkey Rodeo™ folk of the UN are just now waking up to the folly of their empty posturing (though it looks like Frawnce and their Mini-me Belgiques are in full denial mode). Let them eat grass along with the NKORS. |

| #5 If you want a conspiracy, how about: these people were hired to get the documents out? |

| #3 At least it wasn't "Get Out, USA!" Also helps deter the Iranian authorities from breaking up the party before its over, before the documents have been spirited away. It dosn't sound too depressing to me, but maybe I'm being optimistic. |

| #1 Puppet regime? God the conspiracy theories in the middle east never cease to amaze me! It's going to be hard enough to pull a functioning country out of this mess let alone a puppet regime. If it actually made it to puppet regime status that could be considered a success. |
