Those are WONDERFUL photos!!! But if I show them to my liberal California friends, they will snootily say that those were obviously taken when the US first went in, *before* it became a (okay, all together now) "quagmire"!
Sigh. I guess mere photos aren't good enough to prove things to some people anymore.
I can look out of my office window right now and watch a pack of happy, laughing Iraqi kids playing soccer. If they don't believe it's for real, tell 'em to come talk to me. I'm here and they're in Cali...... 'nuff said.....of course they're always welcome to come out and see for themselves, too!! ;)
