I'm quite confused as to whether I'd like to be a journalist in Baghdad during a time like this, as in this minute now...

Sitting there, in your own hotel while missiles and bombs land all around you. Some of them are literally landing on your doorstep.

It really must be quite amazing to watch, yet incredibly scary...

But you shouldn't be scared because the US haven't targetted your hotel as many journalists are staying there and it isn't worth blowing up...

I love fireworks and thunderstorms, just that feeling when you can feel the real force from the explosions, I'd just love to be there watching and feeling it...

It's amazingly scary, yet so amazing to be there...

Tent + Parents in 'bedroom' next to you = Shut the **** up when they're trying to sleep!

It was good fun...

Tent + Girl + Thunderstorm + Rain + Alcohol = Sinful heaven.

If you've ever been camping in Spain, then you'll love Thunderstorms!

We went for like 7 years running. I'd be lying in my tent in all the quiet when I would hear the grumbles of thunder in the distance.

As the storm drew closer I would hear raindrops on the tent.

then it would absolutely pour down, the whole tent would light up with the lightning and the ground would literally shake with the thunder!

I loved it, this is like at 2 in the morning too!

While i was in Florida you would get a really deep thunderstorm about once every 1-3 nights, on one night i went out onto the shaded pool deck with my bottle of beer and just watched and listened, i could see the forks coming down behind the houses, and then the rolling boom. It was awe inspiring.

I think you have the wrong definition of ellipsis...

The bombing is a bad thing to be in the center of but being there around all the Iraqi people is bad too.

I went to Egypt, which isn't a bad place, but on every street corner there were armored Police with Guns. It was pretty scary. On top of that, the public would stare at you like you are scum. I couldn't take being around all these Guns and stuff so I never went through the Streets much again.

In Iraq it must be worse. Much of the population of Baghdad have alot against Americans and the British and it's not like they haven't got Guns. And this time it's not only the Police with them.

I'd like to be there but without the safety problems. Am I allowed to say that?

Just to continue the trend...

Yeah, it's strange, the terror, yet adrenalin rush.
And I might as well continue the trend....

Note how all the last posts have ended with an ellipsis....

I was just watching the news.

They show a clip that someone filmed from their hotel, you hear the roar of the missile over your head and the building in front of you explodes...

Just that adreneline rush...

I was thinking the same thing. They guy on Sky News was reporting from what must have been metres from the bombs. Scary as hell but you can't deny that you'd get a sick rush...
