Hey, did you see that photo that Yon posted of the Christians and muslims working together to put a cross back up on a church in Baghdad? It was incredibly moving to me.

Hey, did you see that photo that Yon posted of the Christians and muslims working together to put a cross back up on a church in Baghdad? It was incredibly moving to me. It's beautiful, isn't it? Peace is breaking out all over this place. Iraqis have always pretty much gotten along regardless of their religion. It was al Qaeda and Iran's thugs (Mookie Sadr's pals) coming in that caused all of the divisiveness. The people themselves aren't really that way at all and want to be united just as Iraqis again.
I took this photo in September from a Black Hawk helicopter. That church in the foreground is a Christian church very close to my base in central Baghdad and the attendance there has been increasing recently.

Oh my, I did see it in some kind of montage, but couldn't’t figure out what was going on. Now it is obvious semblances to raising the flag (IMO) over Iwo Jima.
