Picture of the Day - 3


















A masked man holds a weapon while providing security to the al-Muhajeeren Sunni mosque in the Ghazaliya district west of Baghdad July 11, 2006. In Baghdad, it seems everyone these days is armed, a mark of violence that is ever more anarchic and prompting efforts by the government, U.S. military, and even militia leaders, to curb rogue gunmen.

  • No, DC is more like one of those futuristic comic books with the "haves" and the rest. You know, where the wealthy elite live in their towers while the poor scurry around on the ground.
