I suppose I should accept your views over what I've seen and heard?
Let's see....which way do I believe? My experiencing it firsthand or someone who sounds suspiciously like they're listening to lots of media reports?
Decisions, decisions...
My wife's cousin works for Blackwater. He's been in Iraq for going on 3 years now. We hear from him occasionally and he paints a very different picture from what the Laimstream media is portraying. Keep up the good work and enjoy your R&R!
Hi Allegra,
I have a nephew who is an MP - he is guarding prisoners (weinies as he calls them) at a facility on the Iraq/Kuwait border. He told me that civil war is imminant and that the Iraqis will never be able to adapt to democracy because too many of them are illiterate-can't read, write or anything and they only listen to the imams and mullahs or whatever. I was so discouraged when I heard this. I thought maybe it is because he only sees the dregs-the terrorists, the worst of the worst. He is hoping to transfer to Afghanistan after this tour is up.
He said that we as Americans will never be able to coexist peacably with Muslims because Muslims believe that anyone who does not share their faith must be killed. Simple as that.
Oh well. I'm hoping his outlook is the result of hanging around too many prisoners.
BTTT
I will be looking for your posts in the future.
