July 4: Kalsu


Last July 4, in Baghdad, no fireworks were planned or expected. The joke was that any fireworks at all would be unwanted and of another sort. This year, at Kalsu, I didn't know what, if any festivities were planned, in fact, I was in my room watching season 1 of Battlestar Galactica when I heard the fireworks. Earlier in the day I did take a look at what was going on for the fourth: cookouts, loud country music, strangers in "civies," but still felt out of place.
