Ah, the quiet streets of Baghdad

From Calling All Wingnuts, John McCain offers the reassuring news that, despite news reports of explosions, beheadings, and other untidy episodes, some parts of the city are actually safe enough to walk around. I actually bet that, if he were to walk around in Baghdad, he'd have bodyguards and he'd sneak some kevlar underneath his suit. But for the rest of us, that, of course wouldn't be necessary. Also, on the idea that the "terrorists will follow us home if we leave", does anybody imagine them chasing us down in a pickup truck with banjo music blaring out the windows? Or is that just me?
