CNN photos of GIs resting in several bomb-damaged Bagdhad palaces strongly suggests that hung ceilings have been widely used there, instead of more traditional techniques.
So are you trying to deprive the 3rd world of our latest technological refinements? Why shouldn't Saddam be able to build the same cheap-shit way we do?
On the other hand, it would be nost interesting to see whether his lay-in tile ceilings are from Armstrong, Starkarm or Brastrongue (or however one would translate that into Frog). Meanwhile they all seem to be driving Toyotas with machinegun mounts. Thank God our multinational webs of commerce, tying nations together in fraternal profitmaking and cooperation between the haves and the gimmes, have prevented what otherwise might have been a costly war.
OK, I'll shut up now.
