Today on NPR there was a report on the increase in plastic surgery in Iraq - cosmetic plastic surgery, that is, noses trimmed, breast augmented, tummies tucked. One doctor reported doing three procedures a day, two on women, one on men. People from Jordan and Syria risk coming to the war zone that is Baghdad to be transformed into a "more attractive" person.
You have to admire the human spirit that, in the midst of carnage, wants to look like the latest pop star although they may be blown up tomorrow.
