Finally! The Iraqis are finally doing something to make their citizens safer.
The New York Times' Erica Goode reports from Baghdad that Iraqi authorities are cracking down....on drivers who don't buckle up!

Iraqi soldiers on Tuesday after abandoning their posts on a joint mission with American troops in the Sadr City area of Baghdad. None of them appear to be wearing seat belts.
