This is a picture of a street in the Green Zone. For a Baghdad street, it is pretty clean. All kinds of people are out and about. Of course, you have Soldiers everywhere, but also embassy employees, contractors, Iraqis, private security guards. You name it-- a total mix.
Somewhere in the Green Zone there is the “Baghdad Country Club” a real pub where you (unless you wear a goofy digital green uniform in the middle of the desert) can get a real drink. Where do they get alcohol? Well, right outside the wire in any Iraqi liquor store. Maybe Iraq isn’t the fanatical Islamic country that some people think it is. True you have your “Bible”… er.. I mean “Koran thumpers”, but I guess some folks bent the rules a bit.
