| Protests grow over new US travel watchlist AFP Afghanistan and Iraq on Wednesday joined a chorus of protest over a new US watchlist targeting visitors from 14 countries, describing the measure as ineffective and "counterproductive." "I think it is unfair," said Samir Sumadaie, Iraq's ambassador to the United States. "And more important than being fair or unfair is whether it is actually going to work." "If you treat the entire populations of so many countries as suspects with one blanket decision it is counterproductive," he said. "It tends to alienate people and its very, very doubtful that it will produce any significant increase in the security of air travelers." Said Jawad, Afghanistan's ambassador to the United States, echoed those concerns. "When the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." - Fall Of The Republic - Buy the DVD here
