Ohoh....Drudge just now: Police say the mayor of Baghdad has been shot dead...

No more details yet.

And re your thought on the American Flag....I totally agree, FWIW!! Read someplace today that Annon wants the UN members to be wearing new UN uniforms over in SE Asia...so there won't be any accidental shootings.

What does that man smoke, I wonder? My gawd, T-Shirts can be printed in 24 hours or less if it comes to having to have an identifying uniform. But peoples lives are at stake, and there is NO time to worry about uniforms...... He is also worried about nice buildings to house all the helpers...

I agree with you about wearing the American Flag patch on humanitarian missions.

Here are some more wave photos. Unfortunately they depict folks standing around, exercising herd mentality, even as events are about to engulf them. They did not recognize the hazard.

<All US relief workers, including the US military, should wear a patch of the US flag on their upper sleeve indicating they are from the United States of America. >

I would be interested to hear your view on this 1 specific instance : A US citizen living in Australia, helps folks in S/SE Asia, as part of Aus Red Cross effort.
