Kurds Riot in Iran
So, my general rule is rioting is bad. This is an exception:
Hundreds of Iranian Kurds have clashed violently with police in the northwestern Iranian town of Mahabad, an historical centre of Kurdish nationalism, according to Iran's State News Agency (IRNA).
The rioting, which came just days before Iran is due to elect a new president, was sparked by news from across the border in Iraq that former rebel leader Massoud Barzani was sworn in as the first president of Iraqi Kurdistan.
I blame Bush.
