(But, because the UN was "observing" from Jordon and not Iraq, they were relying on second-hand accounts, at best.) European Union officials and national leaders are congratulating the Iraqis on their courage and determination in the face of threats and attempted intimidation. www.selvesandothers.org /view688.html   (1429 words)
