Jantzen asked me to take some pictures of what it's like outside of the American controlled areas, so here are a few. I took these on a trip to Camp Victory near the Baghdad Airport on the way to a meeting. Driving from the Green Zone to the Airport is about like driving from Arlington to Dulles used to be before suburban sprawl set in!
This first shot is still in the Green Zone. This is Iraq's "Tomb of the Unknown Soldier" from their war with Iran. It's really quite spectacular. If the weather had been clearer, you could see the color patterns on the walls better. There is a perpetual flame burning under the "hood" in the center.
