I wrote a brief outline yesterday about freedom spreading to the Mid-East, but there is a good and concise article at SCN&C about the remarkable outbreak of democratic reforms in the mid-East, and the real story in Iraq. I felt the need to put it up here because it made me remember how my 2 years in the region were so very different than what is on TV.
Also, there is an absolutely fantastic story about a young Iraqi girl that saves a Marine convoy on patrol. That link, or the links at the bottom will take you there. It is HIGHLY SUGGESTED reading. Regardless of what you feel about foreign policy, this is a story of love, and admittedly, made the Sarge a little misty.
Check 'em out! Thanks to Blackfive and Scott D, both fellow soldiers by the way.
