Iraq Demonstrations

It certainly didn't take long for the protests in Egypt to expand to its nearby neighbors.  The people of Iraq have begun their own series of demonstrations.

Which means the U.S. military bases in Iraq are currently on alert.  Jed's base is located more on the outskirts of the city, so it was rather quiet for him.  Though I'm not so sure about his brother, Joe, who is on a different base in the middle of Baghdad.  Joe just happens to be stationed right smack in the middle of all of this. 

I guess we'll see how this all plays out.  There's already been clashes between the demonstrators and police.  Reported deaths are beginning to accumulate.
