Things to note: Mosul is a Kurdish city that has been Arabized the most, so you can't make both sides happy. I am curious as to where the new governor came from. I find it rather odd that our soldiers would fire into the crowd. I find it more likely that the governor be from INC and that his group would fire while our troops try to keep the peace...but these are conjectures. Do you have more details as to who the governor is and what his allegiances are?

You are posting an "important story" that has no context or background. A story needs more detail before it is "important" in my estimation. Last week Fox reported evidence of plutonium development in Iraq, but that story didn't pan out, let's see what happens with Mosul, perhaps Saddam is to blame.

Sorry, I don't mean to harrass, but we're at opposite ends in terms of how we view the situation with Iraq and I feel compelled to respond.
