Under Saddam, this would not been allowed as he would have slaughtered the lot of them and their families using whatever means at his disposal. This situation is just an indication of the law of unintended consequences, remove one dictator who has his foot firmly on the throat of the population and this is what you get, Iraq and Saddam, Libya and Ghadaffi and Syria and Assad. The starting points of this was after Tito died in 1981 and we all know what happened in the FRY. Other states in eastern Europe broke up peacefully after the Wall came down as religion was not involved.
To think we got rid of CBUs and other area denial weapons due to the 'human rights' of murderous scum being paramount, which provided incomes for people like Shiner, Blair (female) and Starmer ( ex DPP under Blair soon to be a Labour MP).
