From the Moroccan Times:
Tens of Thousands of Moroccans hailing from different parts of Morocco marched in Rabat to express their support for the Moroccans still detained in the Tindouf camps. They urged the United Nations and the international community to press on Algeria to set the prisoners free.
The March was organized by Collectif Watanouna – set up on January 20- calling on international organizations to “intervene to put an end to the sufferings of families and children, who are separated from their mothers, and to release all Moroccans held in Tindouf.â€Â
These Moroccans were emprisoned for more than 25 years, following the artificial struggle over the Moroccanity of Southern Moroccan provinces. This struggle opposes Morocco to the Algerian-backed Polisario Front, which has tried to separate the provinces, known as Moroccan Sahara.
Moroccan associations from all over the country, leaders of some Moroccan parties and Moroccan artists participated in this March. They chanted slogans accusing Algeria of maiming and killing Moroccan soldiers and civilians, violating the international law and Geneva Agreement for the treatment of prisoners of war.
THE WORLD WILL RISE UP, MR BUSH! IT WILL RISE UP TO RESIST YOUR UNILATERALIST ARROGANCE AND THE INCESSANT WARMONGERING YOU DISGUISE IN PHONY CALLS FOR “FREEDOM”!
At some point, it’ll be time just to sit back and watch the lefty naysayers of Bushco’s foreign policy initiatives eat each other alive. But not just yet.
Soon, though. If all goes well for the world…

Maybe if we give them some Worcestershire sauce they’ll get the hint.
Mark Steyn wrote something to the effect that Bush wouldn’t have time to deal with every tinpot dictatorship in the next four years. We’ll have to wait until President Rice’s second term to see the end of the struggle.
Turing word: “True.” I’ll take that as a good omen. ;o)
Jeff, this is only tangentially related to Chimpy McChimpyBurtler. But, whatever happened to My life as a nanomachine?
Okay, so maybe not entirely related. At all. But it had so much promise!
Wow, a hat tip from Jeff and an Instalink in the same week! Truly, I am blessed.
If ens of Thousands of Moroccans joined up with Mr. T, they could be Tens of Thousands of Moroccans with a Bad Attitude.
Do you mean B.A. Moroccans?
As a Latin percussive instrument, moroccans are underappreciated.
I’ve always thought Denise Richards had a great set of Moroccans.
I want to know how Mo Rocca got a whole country named after him.
And Joe, how do you know it isn’t Hens of Thousands of Moroccans?
Have the Iraqi elections produced a democratic earthquake that has changed forever the fundamental political dynamics in the Muslim Middle East? Only the culturally deaf, dumb, and blind […] can’t see what George W. Bush’s war against Saddam Hussein has wrought. […] One can
appreciate why the Lebanese youth cannot stop praising “Ju-Ju,” an affectionate Arabic take on “George.” They are willing to admit easily
what comes much harder to many in Congress and in Washington’s Democratic think tanks.

Turing word “thats”, as in, “Hey, dictators! The eh-The eh-The eh-That’s all, folks!”
gail,
“I Love the ‘80s Strikes Back” is huge in North Africa! Bigger than curly fries!
Some people just can’t get with the program.
I blame Karl Rove, Daniel. He’s obviously got operatives manipulating the polls in Indonesia.
S.M. – It’s not just Indonesia. He’s placed a high-level mole at extreme left-wing, anti-American Independent as well.
Moroccanity?
Heh…don’t mess with the chimp.
They’ll kick your a$$!
Tonight on Moroccanity and Moroccolmes…chimps attack!
Ace quotes the unexpurgated version . The version Bucky links to is titled “Chimps Rip off Man’s Nose.” Apparently the dear little fellows also ripped off the guy’s foot and his testicles.
Jeez, was the guy naked?
And more, importantly, can someone confirm the rumor that the perps were also working on their masters theses in Women’s/Gender studies at Vassar at the time of the attack?
Micky and Mallory..
Two young chimps that were born to kill..
No. The people were going to a BIRTHDAY PARTY for a chimp they used to keep in their home until it bit a woman’s finger off. I imagine they were all dressed up real nice. If the critters are able to rip off a foot, they were probably able to rip off a pair of pants.
Here’s my post from over at Ace’s:
Basically the chimps were treating these people the way they would treat chimps from other social groups. Someone with experience in Africa wrote a post on another website about a human found killed by chimps–his clothing was torn off and his testicles were bitten off.
(For some reason Harvard Magazine this is a banned website, so I can’t do a hotlink, but here’s an excerpt from an article on chimp violence):
“as early as 1974, researchers in Gombe National Park in Tanzania had been startled to observe chimpanzee males organizing gangs of a half-dozen or so members and launching lethal raids into the territory of neighboring chimps. These were clearly not food-gathering expeditions. The chimps did not stop to eat, and they did not make any of their normal calls and shouts. Instead, they crept silently into the territory of a neighboring group and hid until they saw a lone chimp. Screaming with excitement, they would ambush the victim, hold him immobile and beat him to death, sometimes twisting the victim’s leg until the muscles ripped, or tearing off flaps of skin while he was still alive. In one well-documented case in Tanzania, a group of male chimpanzees used such ambushes to eliminate a whole band of neighbors. “
Are they for hire?
Wow. What I wouldn’t give to have one of THOSE in the trunk of my car in case of a road rage situation.
Wow. What I wouldn’t give to have one of THOSE in the trunk if I were car-hijacked.
Think of the justice.
Simian justice.
Like when the thug finally opens the trunk and the chimps pop out and start ripping some serious testicles…
Those could come in handy if you were a contractor working in Iraq.
Badda bing! The perfect punishment for Saddam Hussein, those child-murdering terrorists in Russia, and any number of neck-severing insurgents (who aren’t Muslim terrorists because it’s a religion of peace): Simian Justice. Classic.
Simian Justice–must credit Kelly.
Prepare to face…..SIMIAN JUSTICE (TM)
That’s what I’m talkin’ ‘bout.
