1. See? The government cares so much, it want people to have more time with their families

This knocks France's 35 hour week into a cocked hat!

2. How? Who is going to enforce this "order"?

Is all of Baghdad going to be a free-fire zone henceforward? Like it wasn't already?

3. certainly not the Iraqi police/security force

this is insanity to the extreme. They were given 2 hours notice for an indefinite curfew...what about food, water, etc. Are we going to starve them all to death?

4. Whew, at least they're not under martial law

:sarcasm:
