Just watched the Palace Tour on CNN, from Basra. During the course of the war I've seen more of Iraq than at anytime previous. Suprised because I thought it was all a desert wasteland, but no! Palm trees, rivers, warm weather---like Florida, but with a smaller retired population I'll bet. I wonder if there's any need for combat real estate agents in Iraq? If we're going to be colonial exploiters, or even the best pals of liberated Iraqis (the preferred option), there's going to be a need for defensible luxury digs. I'm thinking the palaces would do for some class a condos, hey?
