This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard of. Who in Iraq understands what's spraypainted on the walls? I live in Chicago and I don't get the scribble-scrabble! DonMEGÄ‚60645Talk|Contribs 13:52, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Belongs at wikinews

Seriously, there is no way this belongs on Wikipedia. The article isn't encyclopedia-esque and it's sort of current event related. Gritironskillet 09:26, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "exported to Iraq by the US military"

I removed: "American gang graffiti constitutes one the first cultural (albeit criminal) products to be exported to Iraq by the US military."

The U.S. military did no such thing. Members of the military did. For example: Megacorp sends a guy on a business trip to East Jabip. While he's there, he buys a snowglobe for his daughter. Did Megacorp buy a snowglobe in East Jabip? No, the guy did. Even if 50 other Megacorp employees do the same thing, Megacorp didn't have anything to do with it.

And I agree, this is a questionable topic for wikipedia. Probably belongs in wikinews. Mdbrownmsw 18:56, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
