I saw a lot of the photos arkadiy posted here [link|http://healingiraq.blogspot.com/10dec.html|http://healingiraq.b...ot.com/10dec.html]
The whole lot looked like traditional left wing (communist) groups. In both Iran & Iraq they have been brutally supressed for years.
They would worry me. I am not convinced they are at heart, as peacful as they claim. I am sure there are many who are genuine but it is the 'cadres' that could prove the long term worry. If true, one can only hope that their day has passed.
