New York Metro Sucks

10 years ago, I would have sold my soul to the devil to see Zaha Hadid's work in person, especially if it was in the NYGuggenheim museum. But the Iraq war made me stop caring about art and architecture. Zaha Hadid is a well known British-Iraqi Architect.
I took this picture in New York's Metro. The metro system here is so messy, dirty, and hot! I had a horrible experience yesterday trying to find my way in the crowded and flooded Grand Central!
I think the fancy D.C. Metro has spoiled me already!
haha
I drove from D.C. to New York city yesterday. I'm participating in the UFPJ Steering Committee meeting. I'm not a big meetings fan, but today's 8 hour meeting was actually good and productive.
anyway...
The Iraqi PM, Al-Maliki, is supposed to reach to DC on the 25th, then NYC on the 27th. But the current war between Israel and Lebanon is making this visit more complicated. Al-Maliki condemned the Israeli attack a couple of days ago, one day after the Iraqi parliament condemned it and showed support to the Lebanese people and resistance. Today, Al-Mahdi Army (As-Sadr militia) had a large demonstration where they carried Iraqi and Lebanese flags and chanted "yes for Muqtada, yes for Nasrallah". Nasrallah, for you who don't know, is Hizbullah's leader. Furthermore, Muqtada As-Sadr asked Al-Maliki today to cancel his visit to the U.S.
