To the people of Iraq it does seem that the sky is falling, I have seem many images of buildings burning, people running out of buildings with anything they can carry, people fearing for their children. I am not sure what news you are watching. I think it is very important to restore order as soon as possible. Many of those looters are criminals released as Lil Lil mentioned.
On a happier note the clerics have done a good job on asking many original honest looters to return items and now there is a hugh wear house full of returned loot.

That's good news about the clerics stepping in to get stuff back to its owners. [img]smile.gif[/img] They have also called for the Iraqi's to get the foreigner's out, meaning those who came to die for the Fedayeen from Syria and elsewhere. [img]smile.gif[/img]
I also saw some footage of locals protecting themselves from thieves, beating men and threatening them with guns for stealing. Not that it is proper for any (small) crowd to beat a man in the street but it is getting a point across to wannabe thieves, that much is positive.
Back up should arrive soon...let's hope so anyway. [img]smile.gif[/img]
