Yesterday, Red Cross decided to shut down operations in Basrah. I believe they have first hand information about how "quite" the situation in Basrah is or may be in the future. I have a more jaundiced take on that. Noting that the Red Cross and Medicins San Frontiers have operated for years in much worse security situations, like Sierre Leone, I suspect that they are much quicker to run in Iraq, since there are all kinds of good side effects that flow from it, to their way of thinking - they give the Coalition a black eye, and stand ready to be bribed to come back. I particularly believe this since they ran from Basrah, which from all reports is quiet.
