Extractions: Web posted at: 12:09 AM EDT (0409 GMT) Overview: The U.S. Central Command said on Thursday that Baghdad was "still an ugly place." One day after coalition forces dragged a statue of Saddam Hussein to the ground, firefights broke out in other sections of the city, leaving dozens of U.S. troops wounded. U.S. officials cautioned that coalition military personnel were holding positions in a very dangerous country. After students read " Iraq unstable as coalition forces extend their reach " present the following questions: Shepperd: Focus may shift to Tikrit Special: War in Iraq America at War War with Iraq ... Operation Iraqi Freedom 1. In what Iraqi city was another statue of Saddam Hussein torn down? How are officials describing the situation in Iraq? What events suggest that Baghdad is still a dangerous place? What videotaped messages did President Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair broadcast to the people of Iraq? Why do you think these leaders released these videotapes? Discuss. 2. Use this opportunity to have students learn more about the geography of Iraq and the status of military operations in different regions of the country. Group students and assign each group a key city in Iraq such as Baghdad, Tikrit, Basra, Kirkuk, Najaf, or Mosul. Instruct groups to conduct research to learn about their assigned cities. Have students focus on the cities' ethnic, political and economic composition, and how the war is impacting civilians, soldiers, local government and daily life.

Extractions: If you are traveling to this country, you may be interested in sexual relationships with locals, and no, I do not mean the services of prostitutes or other commercial providers. While you can meet citizen interested in sex accidentally, the chances of success are not particularly high if you are there only for a limited period of time (as I said: no prostitutes). On the other hand, they often are sexually attracted to foreign people. For young women, especially in the big cities, it is chic to have a Western boyfriend. So, there must be a trick to overcome the time-consuming "accidental", and to link more effectively the sexual interests of foreign visitors with those of locals. Try the Internet. Or, more to the point: try www.AdultfriendsFinder.com . The service lists a good number of residents explicitly interested in non-commercial sexual relationships. While there are more males on the search than females, there are indeed an amazing number of women using the service. It is truly amazing how popular www.AdultfriendsFinder.com

Extractions: 11 percent cannot find the United States RELATED Global Geographic Literacy Survey Take the quiz WASHINGTON (AP) Young Americans may soon have to fight a war in Iraq, but most of them can't even find that country on a map, the National Geographic Society said Wednesday. The society survey found that only about one in seven 13 percent of Americans between the age of 18 and 24, the prime age for military warriors, could find Iraq. The score was the same for Iran, an Iraqi neighbor. Although the majority, 58 percent, of the young Americans surveyed knew that the Taliban and al Qaeda were based in Afghanistan, only 17 percent could find that country on a world map. A U.S.-led force attacked the Taliban and al Qaeda in Afghanistan in October 2001, and President Bush has said he is prepared to use force to rid Iraq of any chemical, nuclear or biological weapons programs.

Extractions: GEOGRAPHY Iraq Table of Contents The border with Iran has been a continuing source of conflict and was partially responsible for the outbreak in 1980 of the present war. The terms of a treaty negotiated in 1937 under British auspices provided that in one area of the Shatt al Arab the boundary would be at the low water mark on the Iranian side. Iran subsequently insisted that the 1937 treaty was imposed on it by "British imperialist pressures," and that the proper boundary throughout the Shatt was the thalweg. The matter came to a head in 1969 when Iraq, in effect, told the Iranian government that the Shatt was an integral part of Iraqi territory and that the waterway might be closed to Iranian shipping. Through Algerian mediation, Iran and Iraq agreed in March 1975 to normalize their relations, and three months later they signed a treaty known as the Algiers Accord. The document defined the common border all along the Shatt estuary as the thalweg. To compensate Iraq for the loss of what formerly had been regarded as its territory, pockets of territory along the mountain border in the central sector of its common boundary with Iran were assigned to it. Nonetheless, in September 1980 Iraq went to war with Iran, citing among other complaints the fact that Iran had not turned over to it the land specified in the Algiers Accord. This problem has subsequently proved to be a stumbling block to a negotiated settlement of the ongoing conflict.

http://countrystudies.us/iraq/27.htm

Extractions: GEOGRAPHY AND POPULATION Iraq Table of Contents Most geographers, including those of the Iraqi government, discuss the country's geography in terms of four main zones or regions: the desert in the west and southwest; the rolling upland between the upper Tigris and Euphrates rivers (in Arabic the Dijlis and Furat, respectively); the highlands in the north and northeast; and the alluvial plain through which the Tigris and Euphrates flow. Iraq's official statistical reports give the total land area as 438,446 square kilometers, whereas a United States Department of State publication gives the area as 434,934 square kilometers. The desert zone, an area lying west and southwest of the Euphrates River, is a part of the Syrian Desert, which covers sections of Syria, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. The region, sparsely inhabited by pastoral nomads, consists of a wide, stony plain interspersed with rare sandy stretches. A widely ramified pattern of wadiswatercourses that are dry most of the yearruns from the border to the Euphrates. Some Wadis are over 400 kilometers long and carry brief but torrential floods during the winter rains. The uplands region, between the Tigris north of Samarra and the Euphrates north of Hit, is known as Al Jazirah (the island) and is part of a larger area that extends westward into Syria between the two rivers and into Turkey. Water in the area flows in deeply cut valleys, and irrigation is much more difficult than it is in the lower plain. Much of this zone may be classified as desert.
