Saw this on NBC this morning. Beautiful family. His sister or wife(contemporary aged woman) was wearing a t-shirt that said "#1 BUSH FAN"

have to wonder if this photo has appeared anywhere throughout the Arab world. Hell, I have to wonder if it's appeared anywhere Northern California - Washington State.

likely not...
I've been trying to pull up their live internet feed for days...but the site's been hacked. I'm curious to see whatthey are really showing. I guess the Arab world has the same problem with liberal media that we have. But I think their media is slanted due to the religion and not necessarily the politics....but they're both the same over there....ouch...I'm doing too much thinking about this, ugh!

I love that picture. I put it on my desktop after I saw it yesterday. Now I know the "rest of the story". Thanks for posting it!

I saw this picture in USA Today and didn't read an article or anything. What I saw was a young married man that was a PFC with an Iraquis boy that had an injury to one of his legs. The man had a determined and compassionate facial expression. The picture said everything about the United States that is good. I am glad to know the rest of the story.

Where do we get such men? As Bruce Springsteen would say...Born in the USA...of course many good men & women adopt the USA too...I am proud to be an American...

I suppose that is an example of what the Arab street calls a 'War Against Islam'.........
............they should save their darts for the real murderers. That would be those kidnapping children, threatening to execute them if their parents don't fight against the 'infidels'.
There is a peculiar duality in the Muslim world. Americans who would save Muslim children from a psychotic like Saddam Hussein are the bad guys. Or, it doesn't matter what Saddam does, if he proclaims himself to be a Muslim, then by default, he's deserving of support regardless of what he does. No matter how atrocious his acts.
