Thank you, PatriotGirl. We've got some great photos of our son playing soccer with Iraqi kids, and posing with shopkeepers and just guys on the street.

He was bothered that the few who were our enemies forced them to be wary of the vast majority who were glad we were there.

It is so good to hear things like that straight from the horse's mouth, so to speak. I am feeling kind of frustrated tonight because I am the only conservative, Bush-loving, Iraq war supporter in my family, and your post lifted me up.

I bet your son has some stories to tell. I imagine it would be hard, in a way, to come back here to the USA, where there is som much negativity about the war.
