Beauty Found

Even in a place like HOT and DIRTY IRAQ there is beauty. I know it's hard to believe, but there is beauty all around. Even though it gets hotter than heck, there are still green spots around the town. Last night I was showing someone around when I spotted this falcon flying around. I grabbed my camera w/zoom lens and snapped a few photos. There were actually two of them and I believe they were hunting for dinner. Isn't the falcon majestic and beautiful? I started to look around and spotted some other things of beauty. This next picture is of a local farmer doing his thing...taking care of his crops and herding his sheep. He's not out there trying to kill Americans. He's surviving off of the land. You see, not everyone over here is trying to kill us. In fact, if you look at the statistics from this war compared to VIETNAM, we are doing very well. Although we continue to lose people on a daily basis, the numbers remain extremely low compared to Vietnam. It seems that the Democrats are trying to make the US Military suffer (No Funding), make Bush look bad (Bush's War), and make this war a Political Party issue. We have so much stuff over here, it would be impossible to pull out in a year. There is beauty in everything, you just need to stop and look around every once in a while.
