one way street - aachen

No progress on trip pictures - still at 962.

Ein Bahnstrasse. Means one way street in german. But, when I was much younger I went rushing out of my hotel in Munich and noted that it was on Ein Bahnstrasse. Figured that was like First Street. So, I figured my hotel was on Ein Bahnstrasse. Figured I could find my way back to the hotel if I found Ein Bahnstrasse. Only after many hours, beer halls and brews did I discover Ein Bahnstrasse really means One Way Street. I was real lost and too drunk to care.

Well, BushBoy will be finishing up his 5 week vacation soon. Bet the boys and girls in Iraq would love a 5 week vacation. If you liked the French Revolution - I am thinking you be loving things in Iraq. The three sides seem to hate each other too much to even get together to fight us. The Shiite's and Sunnis will team up with the Syrians and Iranians and the Kurds will destabilize Turkey. And then Syria and Iran can start fighting each other over control of Iraq. It's like the Domino Theory.

It doesn't look like Vietnam to me. It looks worse. Declare victory and leave.
