Great post. Thank you.

The reporter got the adult/child relationship backwards, though, according to his own account, lol.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
By itself, freshly painted stucco does not a compelling picture make. Happily, the CPA has an extraordinary resource on its hands that fits journalists' needs, if only the American media would wake up to the obvious--the brave men and women rebuilding Iraq.

Characters are the backbone of any good story, and the Americans working in Iraq are the finest I have ever met....People like Tom Foley, a multimillionaire financier, now walking the lines at Iraqi shoe factories, helping get an economy off the ground. People like Col. Joe Anderson, who despite the price on his head, patrols Mosul on foot so he can personally reassure shopkeepers and community leaders that America won't cut and run.

Ping!
