Meet the new boss
The Military (Ret.) Governor of Iraq, Lt. Gen. Jay Garner (Ret.), arrived in Baghdad today to begin his overlordship of the Tigris and Euphrates. As seen in this photo from The Guardian, General Garner (you can call him Jay) immediately went about setting a new tone for the country. First, now that Saddam is gone, every day is casual day, and Members Only jackets are cool again. Second, the new regime is benign and culturally sensitive, as demonstrated by the General’s gentle hand laid on the muhajiba’s shoulder. This may be the first time she has ever been touched by a male non-relative, and you can see her exhilaration at the possibilities of life in the new Iraq.
