I was planning to write a pithy commentary on how we complain about looting and riots in Iraq, yet the same thing happens over here every time, say, a sports team wins or loses a competition. But then, I was watching the BBC World News report, and they showed footage, and good lord, our looting has nothing on theirs. It's anarchy. Yeesh.

NEWS:
