Tiger Tees Off In Baghdad

Sunday, April 10th was a celebration of various kinds of green power. Islamics in Baghdad gathered in protest of the 2nd anniversary of the falling of their city to the Coalition of the Willing strike forces.

Back in the USA, the Masters Tournament plodded on for the prize, a green jacket. Great golfers learn to tune out all distracting crowd noises in order to make good scores. And so they did.

Looking back to Iraq, will freedom mean installing country clubs and golf tournaments in and around Baghdad? It would be too simple to say that places with golf courses and miniature golf parks tend to be peaceful. For now, Muqtada al-Sadr and many Iraqis do not seem to be interested in lengthening their drives and sinking long putts.
