That same damn street view in Baghdad has been on my TV on the cable news forever. Day, night, there it is. I sit and watch as clouds drift by the Moon. A car goes by. Once in a while, the lights of an emergency vehicle. Rarely, explosions and such. This view is being seen across the planet--probably even in Iraq.

The difference between America and Iraq is that even under threat of attack, that permanent camera located somewhere in America would have, within hours, about 2000 people in front of it, making faces, mooning, holding up banners, and waving signs advertising their businesses. Over on the right would be that guy with the colored wig and his "John 3:16" sign.
