| I don't know if you all know this guy - hes been posting for several years and is for the most objective Friday, February 24, 2006 # posted by Zeyad : 2/24/2006 11:00:00 PM Fierce streetfighting at my doorstep for the last 3 hours. Rumor in the neighbourhood is that men in black are trying to enter the area. Some armed kids defending the local mosque three blocks away are splattering bullets at everything that moves, and someone in the street was shouting for people to prepare for defending themselves. There's supposed to be a curfew, but it doesn't look like it. My net connection is erratic, so I'll try to update again if possible. The news from other areas in Baghdad are horrible. I don't think it's being reported anywhere. My father and uncle are agitatedly walking back and forth in the hallway, asking me what we should do if the mob or Interior ministry forces try to attack us in our homes? I have no answer for them. |

| #7 Yes the ROP at it's best. I guess the ISALM assumption is even if the world gets "converted" you still have to choose a side. Will it be Sunni or Shiite? Sort of like matter antimatter. complete destruction. |
