Iraqis seem to have found something worthwhile in its democratic neighbor:
A close inspection of photos from inside the Mosul villa where Qusay and Uday were shot dead by American troops last month reveals beer bottles and a candy wrapper with what looks suspiciously like Hebrew lettering.
But wait, it gets better. The beer has reached a much more deserving market as well:The sudden demand in Iraq for Israeli six-packs owes much to the dearth of beer manufacturing in the strictly Muslim Persian Gulf region and the dry heat raging in Baghdad, Tikrit, Mosul and Basra, which makes an iced beer a favorite thirst-quencher for the close to 150,000 American GIs and 15,000 British troops sweltering there in full combat gear. Many Iraqis, too, have taken advantage of the new openness to their geographical west and cultivated a taste for the Israeli brew.
Pretty soon, American troops may be unearthing crates of Bira Maccabee.In other news, there is a new pictures page: Family. See link on right.
Addendum, 10:50pm: Bryan May said something funny. Ever wondered if you could laugh at someone else's liver? Don't miss your chance.
