| #1 Just three? Either the bomb makers are getting inept or the populace is getting more careful...either way, I am glad so few were killed. Boy I just don't know what on earth to think of Iraq right now, both sides have, essentially, gotten what they wanted in the form of government and regional authority. I guess the 1200 year old blood feud over the succession to Mohammed still lives... |
