Basra Governor Demands Apology
This is the result of a supine war strategy, looking to "win hearts and minds", instead of killing the enemy: Basra Governor Wants Apology From Britain
BAGHDAD, Iraq - The governor of Basra, its provincial government, and hundreds of protesters said Wednesday they will end all cooperation with British forces in the southern Iraqi city until Britain apologizes for deadly clashes between its forces and Iraqi police.In London, British Defense Secretary John Reid and Iraqi Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari tried to minimize the effect of the fighting, saying it would not undermine the relationship between the two countries or their determination to lead
Iraq to peace and democracy.But the fighting, which erupted Monday when British forces freed two British soldiers being held by Iraqi police and militiamen, raised new concerns about the power that radical Shiite militias with close ties with Iran have developed in the region.
