rockets

"The one good thing about heading out at night is looking up and seeing the stars. Here, when the dust storms pass, there are a million. If you stare long enough, you'll see at least one shooting star overhead, which is a lovely thing, especially after you verify it's not an incoming rocket."

This is an excerpt from Juliet Macur's blog from Iraq, where she is covering the war for the New York Times. I am fascinated by the lives of people during war time in a war zone. None of us can really imagine what it's like to be there, but she writes some pretty good entries.
