Iraqis protest in "Day of Rage"

"There is no potable water, no electricity. Unemployment is growing, which can push the youth toward terrorist activities,"

Oh really, I seem to remember the United states Military trying to help you pathetic excuses for human beings out with your infrastructure. You people did everything you could to destroy it, Yes Al Qaida had a lot to do with it, But you rejects DEFENDED them.

Now you Cry like little Bitches because of your situation.

Try standing up for yourselves, try to actually do something good for your country, quit relying on somebody else to wipe your ass, if you can't at the very least do that, then shut up and deal with what you are dealt.



(Reuters) - Thousands of Iraqis took to the streets on Friday to protest against corruption and a lack of basic services in an organized nationwide "Day of Rage" inspired by uprisings around the Arab world.

Protesters demonstrated throughout Iraq, from the northern city of Kirkuk to the southern oil hub of Basra.

The Arab world has erupted in protests seeking to oust long-standing rulers and improve basic services, although Iraqi demonstrations have been more focused on gripes over essential needs and end to corruption rather than a change in regime.

Hundreds of people carrying Iraqi flags and banners streamed into Baghdad's Tahrir Square, which was under heavy security. Military Humvees and security forces lined the streets around the square and nearby Jumhuriya bridge was blocked off with concrete blast walls.

A vehicle curfew was also in effect in the Iraqi capital.

"We are here for change to improve the situation of the country. The education system is bad. The health system is also bad. Services are going from bad to worse," said 27-year-old Lina Ali, part of a protest youth group on Facebook.

"There is no potable water, no electricity. Unemployment is growing, which can push the youth toward terrorist activities," she said.
