Provoking the Sunnis
The Iraqi government has banned all organized trips to Saddam Hussein's grave in northern Iraq.
The government issued the order on Monday after some schools began arranging trips for their pupils to visit the site in Saddam's native village of Al-Awja, outside the northern town of Tikrit, a government statement said.
This comes across as a purely vindictive move by Iraq's Shi'a government. It will annoy some Sunni Arabs, and I don't see how it does anything positive for Nouri al-Maliki's administration.
