uhuoh, wrong photo...



Robson de Lima Barbosa (C) of Brazil pays his respects to his son, Corporal Felipe Carvalho Barbosa, before the start of a memorial service held at Green Street Baptist Church in High Point, North Carolina February 6, 2006.

A ballet instructor teaches Iraqi girls at the Iraqi cultural Centre in Baghdad February 6, 2006. The newly revived arts centre, sponsored by the Iraqi Ministry of Culture, offers free courses on computer, music, ballet and painting. The cultural centre housed in a government building will begin a new era of teaching arts and culture to children - as opposed to teaching military style indoctrination to children during the regime of former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, officials said.

I hate to be so cynical but I would guess these are children of the Iraqi folks housed in the Green Zone.

6. You beat me to it.
I was going to say, it is going to be pretty difficult to spin around on the stage in a Burqa. Such a shame.

4. Bush want's $70bn more to spread more cheer in Iraq.
Not to mention $479bn for "defense". Probably to be used for ballet shoes and tutus for the survivors of our benevolent "liberation" by "smart bombs".
