I wish all of the images from the war could be this nice. But then it wouldn't be a war, would it?

Speaking of images, if you have the time, please go to NPR's "All Songs Considered" web page and watch/listen to their war photo essay. They've combined some striking images from the war with music that has been accompanying their radio coverage. It's a long slideshow (23 minutes), but it's definitely worth it. Both beautiful and frightening.
