people are going to watch it happen because it's just not their problem.
... There's not an ounce of principle, not an ounce of public interest
in this legislation."

Wednesday, 09 July 2008 12:02

BAGHDAD (AP) - A suicide car bomber on Wednesday targeted a military

Iraq and government crackdowns against Sunni extremists and Shiite militias.
