If you've ever wondered what time it is in Iraq, day or night. go here and download desktop earth

and set it up for the center of the desktop to be where ever you want in the world. Pretty cool, from looking at it it looks like it is maybe around 10 pm there. like I said its pretty cool

Desktop Earth is a wallpaper generator. It will generate a high-resolution, accurate representation of the Earth. The imagery is based on NASA's Blue Marble Next and Earth's City Lights.

Day and night is accurately represented depending on the Sun's overhead position (which depends on both the time of day and the day of the year) and both the snow cover and the foliage changes with the seasons.

No use to me, I'm afraid.
