Actually, this is another beautiful sunset picture. I will try to get one tonight from another vantage point without military vehicles and buildings in the scene. But back to the Allah Akbar guy - As some of you may know, in the Muslim religion, one is required to pray five times a day. The first time of the day being at around 0500. Soooo, at 0500, there is a loudspeaker seemingly right outside my tent blaring the morning Muslim call to prayer. It is actually really a beautiful sounding call. How can someone singing God is Great (Allah Akbar in Arabic) be anything but beautiful? Well, I would prefer if they kept the volume down at 0500, but I really do sleep through it most of the time. I think it is very sad that the F$%^ing Insurgents or RBGs (Really Bad Guys) always say Allah Akbar right when they are blowing our guys up, or taking out Iraqi civilians, or GIs and the kids they are giving toys and candy to. I wish I knew what God thought about all this mess. He's probably sad.
