So I was poking around Google Earth (4.0 is awesme btw), and I found this.
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=Baghdad&ie=UTF8&z=17&ll=33.332321,44.368157&spn=0.006588,0.014784&t=k&om=1
I also found a ton if military bases...(imagine that). The downloadable version of Google Earth is great, and I think there is a way to share the bookmarks, but I haven't quite figured that out yet.
That's a pretty nice aerial shot. I was deployed to Iraq in 2004 and although I never saw any trains, I could hear them sometimes while in the Green Zone. Just for a moment, I'd picture myself back stateside somewhere next to the rails when I heard their whistle.
You're right on the bases....there are many, many scattered throughout the country and will be for the forseable future until we can start drawing down some troop levels.
