[USMA:25381] Iraqi daylight saving time effective April 1

[Norman & Nancy Werling]

To all,   This represents an updating and a slight change in the focus of the Iraqi time discussion.  Click onto the following:   http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=27   This web site "World Time Clock" shows an anticipated change to DST for Iraq on April 1, that is from UTC/GMT + 3 to UTC/GMT + 4.  I looked up Kuwait and Qatar but they have not had a history of using DST so the webmaster does not show its anticipated use in either place and presumably they will remain UTC/GMT + 3.  Check the following: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=123 http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=8   I wonder if Iraq will actually make the change in the middle of the war.  What will the Coalition military do?   Will Kuwait and/or Qatar will then stay an hour behind Iraq.  What will the Coalition miliitary command do?  Will CNN know about it in advance?  Stay tuned!   To further add to the situation regarding time, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, the West Bank, and Egypt each have different dates to change from UTC/GMT + 2 to UTC/GMT +3.
