What's Going On In .iq?

Hey, let's visit with another domain name extension. This time we'll be visiting the pages of Iraq (.iq).

I'm going to be linking to pages that are in the English language. Please realize that whatever I'm reading might be tailored for an English-reading audience.

One might think that there would be a plethora of Iraqi pages in English, but one would be mistaken.

So what's on Iraqi websites?

Did you find any Iraqi porn sites?

That Iraq "traffic martyrs" was just too tempting to not click, but holy hell it's creepy. What's with the cartoon-ized photographs? And just what must one do to be labelled a "traffic martyr?" Die in a car wreck? Be blown to bits in the street by a car bomb or a US missile?

I need answers, Splotch. You can't just leave a link like that and not provide some info, sir!

dr z, none that I would recognize as such.

d, I dunno what to make of the martyr website. I don't have answers, only questions. Sorry!
