"Hoping to restore some degree of order to the southern city of Basra, British troops Thursday asked residents to turn in their guns - no questions asked.

"If we want to give the new Iraq a chance, these weapons have to be taken out of circulation," said Capt. Cliff Dare of 3 Commando Brigade Engineer Group. "


Lets see, the coalition is not responsible for law and order, but they expect the citzens to turn in their tools of self-preservation during these very scary days? I don't think so!

I would want every one around me to be armed if I lived over there. :uhoh:

Sounds like a good way to start losing the war that we just "won"

Rarely does a day pass when I fail to feel grateful to our forefathers for having rebelled against the English and founded a republic.

According to the WJS I just read, Gen. Franks new orders to U.S. troops.

'Iraqis may keep weapons in their homes, but they are not to be displayed in public. '

Sounds good to me and should superceed the Brits' orders in Basarah.
