This reminds me of a story one of the soldiers told us last week. They were on a convoy somewhere in Iraq. There was one soldier who handed out little stuffed monkey toys to the little kids. As the convoy was moving along, there was a little Iraqi girl, about 5, sitting in in middle of the road, in the way of the convoy. They stopped and asked their leader what they should do. They were told to just drive around her. As the last vehicle was maneuvering around her, the soldier who handed out the toy monkeys was in that vehicle, and told the driver to stop, because that little girl was holding one of his toys. He got out, walked up to her, and she started pointing to the ground next to her, just crying. He got one of the people who check for ied's and sure enough, there was one buried right next to her. This little girl saved some soldiers that day.

Wow! I feel sorry for the Iraqi kids who suffer because of the stupidity of adults.

I hope we can make a lasting change for them.
