Now why does that not surprise me Lepus.

Mind you, Lepus, you could look at the mural's possible impending destruction as an attempt on the part of the USMC to up-date it - you know what I mean, "Ground Zero" cleared of the rubble, caused by a cowardly and unwarrented attack, and the site ready to rise again.

Then again that probably would not be to your taste either - Tough.

Reports coming in (BBC's Jim Muir) from Northern Iraq about Iraqi's killing tribesmen in a village outside Kirkuk - Lepus probably thinks that's OK, as they are just trying to encourage the others.
