Press release from the White House:
Iraq Fact of the Day
Civic Pride in Iraq's Capital
The CPA, responding to a Baghdad City Council request, is allocating $10 million to brighten the city's public parks, squares and playgrounds. The funding will provide lighting in the capital's outdoor public places, new murals, sculptures, and landscaping. Revitalization of Baghdad's public areas shows civic pride and is another example of the Iraqis' faith in their future.

Okay, I can see how lighting in the parks could be a plus in anarchy and strategic landscaping is always nice for street fighting, but murals and sculptures?
How about 30 foot high statues of George Bush? The tanks could pull them down next time around......
