The government of Iraq is closing its borders for external travel. All Iraqi airports have been closed as well. The police and military have been ordered to seize all westerners. If the person is white and noticed, they are going to be taken into custody. If they are from disputing nations they will be held, if they are from other nations they will be taken to the border of another nation via ground transportation and given to authorities at the border. Air traffic is halted except for military purposes. Turkish and Iranian citizens within Iraq are not going to be detained, but must register with local immigration authorities for processing to verify their place of residence within Iraq. Iraq wishes to enforce the idea that these are merely preventative measures to keep Iraq and its security sound. If there is no further escalation on apart of the western powers in terms of use of force, then the hostages will be treated well. If escalation continues, there will be consequences. |

We agree with Canada, let go of the hostages, especially the ones of countries in no way tied to this, or there will be consequences. |

We regret the use of such measures. But when western powers that are much more powerful than our nation with military force, then we must do what is necessary to preserve our solidarity. Economic sanctions do not bother us so much, as we have support from the USSR, and our ties with western nations are minimal at best (aside from the UK). Ideally we wish not to revert to such measures. Ideally we would like to see BP still working hand in hand with IPC. But unfortunately, that is no longer the case. If the west would stop their hypocritical stances when it comes to human rights and freedom, and stop imposing their viewpoints upon others, perhaps this situation would not even exist. But so long as western powers are threatening Iraq and other Arab nations with the use of force, and the threat of nuclear weapons, we cannot sit idly by. Again, we assure all nations that so long as there is no escalation of force, that there will be no hostages harmed whatsoever. |

Most of the citizenry that is not involved are being taken to borders of other nations and released. If a white South African is found within Iraq, they will be released to the border of their choice. All people who are deported will be allowed to return following the conclusion of this incident if they so desire. |

Canada has no troops near Iraq, we expect this means all Canadians have been released? |

Absolutely not. An unknown number of Canadians are being held at undisclosed locations throughout Iraq. Canada has expressed explicit advocates for Israel, and has Palestinian blood stains on their hands. You have vocally supported the UN resolution which ensures the continued domination and repression of the Palestinian people. Your entanglements with the United Kingdom and unequivocal support for their hypocritical policies mean that they will all be kept safe and sound unless the west affords the Palestinians some safety and security in their rightful homeland. /wrong account...third time today...awesome. |

Prime Minister Drew has ordered the apprehention of any Iraqi within our country who does not have a Canadian citizenship in hopes of preventing a terrorist attack, those with citizenship are only restricted from leaving the country. Those arrested have been placed in former Japanese internment camps. |

We, as in the Swiss Confederation, strongly condemns the actions taken by the Iraqis. This does not mean that we will be capturing/arresting any Iraqis that reside within the land of the Swiss Confederation. Yelvet Sovenna, Federal Department of Foreign Affairs |

OOC: I didn't say we were arresting Islamics, we are arresting citizens of Iraq who may attempt to try something. Terrorism wasn't invented in the next decade |

Totally OOC:/ Terrorism didn't really become a major tactic used by Muslims until after the war of the Algiers...well, during the war of the Algiers, it was perfected there so far as the Muslim world is concerned. It really wasn't in the Arab playbook at all at this point in history. Muslims didn't really start using terrorism in regards to Israel at all until after the SECOND Israeli war. The Arab nations were always under the impression that they could take Israel out by military means, and not need to fight an assymetric war like was fought in Algeria. It wasn't until their second failure that they began to question their ability to take out Israel with western backing. After the THIRD failure is when terrorism become the number 1 tactic used by Arabs in regards to Israel. That and propaganda. The idea being that they could use western media machines to eventually gather enough popular support in the west to get rid of Israel, or at least support assymetric warfare against Israel. Let's face it, the Arabs have NO WAY of beating Israel. They realized it, and it's why organizations like the PLO were formed. I'm not saying you can't do it. And I'm not saying it's ASB or anything. I'm just saying that it really shouldn't be a concern as I don't really think there's any reason that Iraqi citizens would commit terrorist acts against Canada at this point in history because Arabs weren't committing terrorism anywhere at this point in history on any sort of scale. |

Terrorism has been around in many forms, recall the resistance in WWII, it has many of the same ideas and methods. |
