US troops seal off the Valley of Peace cemetery in the Shiite holy city of Najaf 28 August 2004. The cemetery -- the largest in the world -- was the scene of intense fighting in recent months between US troops and fighters loyal to radical Shiite cleric Moqtada Sadr. From the most luxurious mausoleums with coloured ceramic domes to the most modest and anonymous mud tombs, every square metre (yard) bears the scars of war. The vast expanse housing an estimated five million graves was fought over by the Mehdi Army and US troops as a rear base for the confrontation around the militia's stronghold in the Imam Ali mausoleum.

An Eskimo Ranger, left, guided two Canadian soldiers across a field on the shores of Cumberland Sound as part of Operation Narwhal, a joint Canadian army and navy excercise.  Canada has been attempting to re-establish it's internationally disputed claim to tens of thousands of miles of Arctic channels and tundras that have proven rich in mineral and energy resources.  Robert J. Galbraith for The New York Times

Quoted: Canada has been attempting to re-establish it's internationally disputed claim to tens of thousands of miles of Arctic channels and tundras that have proven rich in mineral and energy resources. hmm, that's interesting. with whom are they disputing it?

From the NY Times article:

"Not all of Canada's vast claims to the Arctic are recognized internationally. The United States, the European Union and Denmark either contend that the region's waterways are open to all or have placed their own claims on parts where climate change is expected to increase access to the region's bountiful resources in coming years."

Quoted: Thanks me and my kids look forward to seeing your pics everyday.
