Case in Point
 Iraq Red Crescent chief and wife murdered The director of the Iraqi Red Crescent in the Kurdish city of Irbil and his wife have been murdered. The bodies of Barzan Umar Ahmad and his wife Sazane Ismail Abd Allah, who also works at the Red Crescent, were discovered late on Friday on a street in the Hay al-Intisar district in the northern city of Mosul, said Red Crescent official Hawar Faris on Saturday. Their car appeared to have come under heavy gunfire.

Well that last incident happened in Kurdistan, and a red crescent official is not a likely target for either side. My feeling is that this is the result of a simple bandit attack - not a political one. And no group has taken responsibility for it either.
As for the siege well, for whatever reasons, the US has instigated a ceasefire and it *is* calming the situation, not only in Falluja but also in the rest of the country. Time will tell as to whether this strategy was correct. |

Isn't Mosul in Iraq?
Regardless, results *are* what matters in Falujah, so I'll be happy to be proven overly pessimistic. [img]smile.gif[/img] [ 04-12-2004, 02:47 PM: Message edited by: Ronn_Bman ]

So I also hope that I'm being overly pessimistic too and that this all works out. |

Despite a bit of heat between those of us here now and then, I know that's true for everyone.

No leader could allow people to get away with murder in an election year.
