No, I don't. And I don't care if France doesn't allow the RIGHT to protect themselves or England, or any other country that is not ours. Iraq is in a bit different situation than we are right now (in case you did not know). And I am not depriving them of anything, btw. I am actually for them having a free and democratic society. My guess is that you are not. Certainly you are not if you are agains this war, because that means you are for Saddam Hussein running the show over there. Me and you are quite different in this regard, I am sure. And it makes no difference to me that you don't want to protect your family. You are free to not protect yourself or your family. You are not free to take my rights away. And San Francisco's unconstitutional law does not effect me one iota except to make me have contempt for the anti-American leadership that deprives Americans of their rights. I won't spend any of my $ or time in that corrupt city, nor would I recommend anyone else do so.

Al Qaeda Information Seized by Iraqi Government By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Published: June 15, 2006 Filed at 5:09 a.m. ET BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- Iraq's national security adviser said Thursday a ''huge treasure'' of documents and computer records seized after the raid on terror leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's hideout has given the Iraqi government the upper hand in its fight against al-Qaida in Iraq. Iraqi National Security Adviser Mouwafak al-Rubaie also estimated that a large number of U.S.-led forces will leave Iraq by the end of this year, and a majority will be gone by the end of next year. ''And maybe the last soldier will leave Iraq by mid-2008,'' he said. Al-Rubaie said a laptop, flashdrive and other documents were found in the debris after the airstrike that killed the al-Qaida in Iraq leader last week outside Baqouba, and more information has been uncovered in raids of other insurgent hideouts since then. He called it a ''huge treasure ... a huge amount of information.'' When asked how he could be sure the information was authentic, al-Rubaie said ''there is nothing more authentic than finding a thumbdrive in his pocket.'' ''We believe that this is the beginning of the end of al-Qaida in Iraq,'' al-Rubaie said, adding that the documents showed al-Qaida is in ''pretty bad shape,'' politically and in terms of training, weapons and media. ''Now we have the upper hand,'' he said, speaking in English and Arabic at a news conference in Baghdad. ''We feel that we know their locations, the names of their leaders, their whereabouts, their movements, through the documents we found during the last few days.'' ''They did not anticipate how powerful the Iraqi security forces are and how the government is on the attack now,'' al-Rubaie said, expressing optimism that the government would be able ''to destroy al-Qaida and to finish this terrorist organization in Iraq.'' He said the documents, which he promised to release gradually after investigations were finished, would reveal details about the inner workings of the terror group and show how ''al-Qaida is using everyone as a pawn to play in this wargame, in this game of killing Iraqi people and destroying this country.'' They ''will show how their central strategy is to divide and destroy,'' he said.
