27. In that first picture of your post...
who is that floating above the city? Is that Bush, smiling down on all his good work? Why isn't he down in the streets, where people can throw flowers at him?

16. Actually thats more up north
Fields of red poppies as far as the eye can see leading to the mountains. Beautiful country.

No blond women dancing around and singing though. The people in that part are mostly dark haired. ;)

29. it's a sad story really....
The Iranian insurgents stole the candy. Obviously we can not allow this to happen. As for the flying car, it's currently in the garage for the Iraqi version of Pimp My Ride.
