It's Friday in Iraq - what are you going to do? Go on an outing of course! We're actually standing in a very pretty spot above a river looking off in the distance at Iran. Given that whole Axis of Evil thing, it seems that's about as close as the government is going to let me get to Iran. This naturally makes me want to cross the border even more.
