Should Iraq stage its own "End the occupation" protests?
Like in Lebanon, wouldn't this bring them lots of respect around the world?

2. I wouldn't blame them but are they..
in any condition now to mobilize that way? Would their government (or this one) allow for that?

5. If they stage large protests (such as those early on about jobs and
pay), for some odd reason, US troops seem to fire into the crowd at allegedly armed people who are never found.

6. bushco and his rogue army would shoot them all dead!
dissent in bushco country is only paid lip service to by bushco and his rogue administration--in the real bushco world, dissent is not allowed.

8. Bush is trying to insure that no journalists will cover it
as there will be no independent journalists there.
