Even our local liberal news stations carried this story in a big way.

Baby Noor is at a premier children's hospital here, she'll get the very best of care.

And for those of you who are snarking about American babies, it's a nonprofit hospital and they do TONS of work for local kids whose parents can't afford the care -- thanks to donations from folks all over Atlanta. Don't badmouth our soldiers' desire to help the particular kid in trouble who appears in their orbit. The best charity is personal and spur of the moment.

Update:

Doctor says Baby Noor is doing well

Excerpt

****************

TLANTA (AP) — An Iraqi infant with severe birth defects is "engaging and interactive" as she awaits a lifesaving operation, her doctor said Monday.

		Baby Noor clings to her grandmother as they get into an ambulance outside Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
		By John Bazemore, AP ******************************************** Doctors usually operate on spina bifida victims immediately after birth, making this operation "quite unusual," Hudgins said. But the baby's situation was "stable," giving doctors enough time to do appropriate studies. "We have very high hopes for her," he said.

The best charity is personal and spur of the moment.

Bless those soldiers. Considering the potential peril they face everyday and the images of war, death and destruction they see everyday, I'll bet it uplifted their spirits to have the opportunity to do good for this child.
