Protesters in Iraq attack Green Zone

Khamenei's death was met with anger in Baghdad, where hundreds of protesters have tried since the early hours of Sunday to storm the fortified Green Zone where the US embassy is located.


Also it would have been nice for them to consider the importance of this little gem:
Iran wields significant influence in Iraqi politics, and also backs armed groups whose power has grown both politically and financially.


Killing this guy, making him the rallying call for Muslim extremists...we are in a lot of fucking trouble.

With every corrupt, unconstitutional, and immoral act, the felon makes things worse for the nations and the vast majority of the people on this planet.
