Apologies for lack of commentary but since Keith Moons Diary scrolled off I think this breaking story needs some exposure.

MOGADISHU (Reuters) - Ethiopian troops and Somali protesters exchanged fire in Mogadishu on Saturday killing three people, witnesses said, as hundreds of Somalis demonstrated against the foreign forces and a government disarmament drive.

The protesters hurled stones and burned tires, wreathing streets in smoke and reviving memories of the chaos that had largely stopped during six months of strict Islamist rule before the Somalia Islamic Courts Council (SICC) was ousted last week.

He also announced the first meeting of Iran-Pakistan joint working group on Iran-India-Pakistan gas pipeline will be held in Tehran on March 12.

Given how myopic American news is , I dont expect this storey to hit till next week when the first IPI meeting takes place. But when it does i'm going to sit back with a bowl of popcorn. Read More

Well having hopefully caught you attention with that headline I now bring you excerpts of the Oxford Research International poll sponsered by ABC,BBC,Der Speigal, NHK and Time Magazine

http://abcnews.go.com/...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/...

In the poll 1711 Iraqis were interviewed throughout the country in October and November 2005.

the poll provides a number of interesting opinions, some contradictory and enough grist for both pro and anti war factions to chew on.

first the big one

Support for the U.S.-led invasion has dropped: In February 2004, 39 percent of Iraqis told us they believed the invasion was wrong, but today that number stands at 50 percent.

Geee....when half of Iraqis are saying the invasion was wrong you know things are going to get ugly.

btw I realize i've not added much of my own analyisis to this survey but really this stuff is self explanatory and I'm not sure what more I could add. Read More

100 Insurgent groups in Iraq

The Bush administration has long maintained, and Mr. Bush reiterated in his speech Wednesday, that the insurgency comprises three elements: disaffected Sunni Arabs, or "rejectionists"; former Hussein government loyalists; and foreign-born terrorists affiliated with Al Qaeda.

Iraqi and American officials in Iraq say the single most important fact about the insurgency is that it consists not of a few groups but of dozens, possibly as many as 100. And it is not, as often depicted, a coherent organization whose members dutifully carry out orders from above but a far-flung collection of smaller groups that often act on their own or come together for a single attack, the officials say. Each is believed to have its own leader and is free to act on its own.

A major upsurge in attacks by Taliban-led rebels that have left more than 1,100 people dead in the past six months. They also come less than a month before landmark legislative elections, which the insurgents have vowed to subvert.
