You know, for years I have been trying to find out, just what do they smoke in those pipes? I just looked up hookah in the dictionary to see if it would say but it didn't; it just said they are large water pipes used in the mideast. Does anyone know just what they smoke out of those things? I liked the checkers picture, that was cute and refreshing in the face of all the violence.

At first glance, I thought those hats were 3 large candles!

Reborn-you pulled a post and pic from Diogenesis album to day that really impacted me. The fine face on our fighter pilot, his determination and attitude, the strength that shows in his expression, his positive thumbs up (don't know if he is about to lift off or has just returned).

I loved seeing the shots of the USS George Washington, somewhere in the Persian Gulf, and was reminded of the young lives working aboard that ship. How lonely they must be and how proud I am of each of them. The shots of the sunrise, or sunset, were spectacular. I pray God Speed for each one of these good, good people.

From the few times that I have been in the Middle East, I can tell you that it's probably hashish.

What I see in the pictures of the faces of the Muslims is the grotesque emptiness that results from a culture which teaches its young to hate.

Thank you Cindy.

The "link4U.com" site is especially moving. It brought tears to this Marine's eyes.

[DBtoo]

Is smoking hash accepted there? Sort of a cultural thing? I suppose it is not illegal in many mideast countries.

[voa-davidk]

How do you maanage to get these pictures?

[cavador]
