Safety First

The New York Times has a story today about the city of Baghdad as it prepares for invasion. Next to the story, they run this picture of a guy standing happily in a sea of gas canisters.



In the first 48 hours of the war, the Pentagon, following the Shock and Awe battle theory plans to drop 3,000 precision guided bombs and missiles in the first 48 hours.

All I'm saying is I hope that happy looking guy finds some other place to stand, once the war starts.
