Elsewhere...

...in the safer world now that Saddam Hussein is behind bars...

Riots in Pakistan over mosque bombing
Railway station bombed in India
Lebanon Car Bomb Injures Ex-Minister
State of emergency declared in Gaza (under Israel's "Operation Day of Reckoning")

And those Italian women who were hostages in Iraq on the front pages (not here at YWA - there's just too many to keep listed), are pissing off the coalition of the willing to do Israel's bidding.

An Italian aid worker held hostage last month in Iraq said guerrillas there were right to fight U.S.-led forces and their Iraqi "puppet government."

In comments that were bound to annoy Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's government, Simona Torretta also called on Rome to withdraw the troops it sent to Iraq to support its U.S. ally.

But the schools are open in Iraq.



Schoolchildren make their way through stagnating sewage water to attend the opening day of the new school year, in the poor neighborhood of Sadr City, Baghdad, Iraq, Saturday Oct. 2, 2004. Weeks of fighting between supporters of radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr and U.S. forces has led to a breakdown of the already stretched infrastructure in this impoverished part of Baghdad.
