Kevin 3 Report post Posted July 26, 2005 (AC) In an unprecedented act of generosity and boldness , The Rolling Stones have added two tour dates to their international 2005/06 calendar tour : Baghdad and Mosul . They will be the first Western rock and roll act to visit the Middle Eastern country which for the last 30 years was under the regime of Saddam Hussein and is presently in a state of insurgency. "We just wanted to show some kindness and give a bit of fun to a people who really need it ..." said frontman Mick Jagger . Tickets have not yet been offered for sale and details were not available about venues or security arrangements, and reaction from Islamic Mullahs is unknown as of yet , but is expected to be harsh . However , a spokesman for the group stated that if the Iraqi people would not attend , then surely servicemen would be invited . " We've never done a U.S.O , man , it may be a blast, " said guitarist Keith Richards , " but we love the Iraqi people and hope they'll come out to see us ."

RonJonSurfer 15 Report post Posted July 26, 2005 I think it's a nice gesture, but it would put a huge strain on a very depleted security force. I can't imagine using valuable resources to protect The Stones in Iraq. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
