Am just reading the news headlines from Iraq, at the Iraq Coalition Casualties website, and am just thinking, this is a country the size of California with a similar population to Australia, and it is very depressing to just read the chaos over there.
'Air strikes in Iraq leave 40 insurgents dead' - 'Kidnapped French reporter freed in Iraq' - 'UK memo to question postwar plan' - 'Army investigated as criminal the deaths of two Guardsmen in Iraq' - 'Carbomb injures 4 near Slovak Embassy in Baghdad' - 'Iraqis find 20 bodies bound and shot in head'...
And on and on it goes. Yes, it is a big country, and I suppose there are calm bits of it, but really, if Sydney and Brisbane and Melbourne were in a state of siege, but Perth and Adelaide were OK, it would still be a national problem rather than just a regional or city based one. I thought I heard on the news this morning as I was waking up that the US is considering bringing the draft back in. Now there have been those rumours around for months, but when the ABC has it on in the morning, the most serious news time of the day LOL, you know it's finally broken in the mainstream media...
Later peeps
