Some time ago there was a thread dealing with the walls built in Iraq. Check out what some artists have done to make them less of an eyesore. Mega cool.
Baghdad artists have spruced up the temporary "T-walls" near the city's Abu Nuwas fish market to reflect traditional scenes of Iraqi life.
Just few days ago he was in Sadr city making a documentry about the dead Iraqi Taekwondo team visiting their families, the widows, and the little kids... sharing their sadness and sorrow and crying in their pain... only if he knew that his fate was just the next day.

In the 1990's, Mother Teresa came to Iraq to ask Sudaam Husein if she could open an orphanage in Baghdad. The former dictator said yes. This 49th Military Police Brigade Video features US military personnel bringing support to the "Dar al-Mahabha" orphanage which means "House of Love" in Baghdad.
Mother Teresa was an amazing woman. She deserves a forum to herself.
I love her soooo much. She was so good to the poor and she was also very clever because she was able to make even politicians listen to her. God rest her soul she will never ever be forgoten. We need more ppl like her in this world and it will be a better place.

President Bush unwittingly reveals his true plans post 9/11. A satirical spoof using sound bites of the world’s favorite idiot. Based on the audio file by Chris Morris.
I left the best till last. Just in case you are still undecided about Bush, watch this clip please.
Is the President of the United States, George W. Bush, an idiot? Scarborough Country asks the forbidden question. They look at his inability to speak correctly, not at his inability to lead correctly, however. Of course the real question is, is the Republican Party full of idiots because they nominated the sucker, and continue to blindly follow his crap? Is the US full of idiots, because they elected the sucker and have not begun demanding better until recently?
Heres a link for the hometown Baghdad boys. Report also.
Like Jimi Hendrix, We Will Choose How We Live The Final Episode of Hometown Baghdad
The nearly four dozen episodes of Hometown Baghdad that have been released over recent months have allowed viewers to follow the lives of four "normal" young Iraqi men. They've expressed mixed feeling about the presence of US forces at times, questioning whether it things better or worse, though on the whole they've remained somewhat apolitical--just trying to lead as normal life as possible amidst the chaos of Baghdad. As filming for the series was winding to a close, tragedy struck Ausama's family--US forces shot his uncle Ni'met while he was driving through central Baghdad on his way to the market. Ausama's family allowed Hometown Baghdad's crew to continue filming as they struggled to cope with the tragedy. Other episodes followed Adel took a hidden camera through his neighborhood, and Saif showed how his house had become a cage. The crew followed followed Ausama during his final exam week, Saif as he went on dates with his girlfriend. Adel interviewed interviews his little brothers about a killing they witnessed on their way home from school, and talking at length about anger, pain, death, and madness. The complete series can be viewed on the Hometown Baghdad website.
I hate these extreme groups. What do Hizbolah have to do with us. If they are true Muslims they must try to help us get peace not bring more war. Mind your own busines!
