IRAQ NOTEBOOK: Lions, tigers and bombs in Baghdad? (AP)

In this photo taken Thursday, Sept. 8, 2011, a member of the Umbrella Circus performs in Baghdad, Iraq. Violence is on the downswing in the capital, although deadly bombings and shootings still happen nearly every day.  And the glitter of the circus still wasn't enough to convince many of the performers to take a chance on Baghdad. (AP Photo/ Hadi Mizban)AP - The sword swallower had arrived, the snake charmer was ready. All that was missing when the circus got town were the lions and tigers — which, unfortunately, were delayed by customs inspectors leery of letting the exotic cats into Iraq.
