Yep...the communal convergence that occurred when FReepers and the Iraqis convened was almost spiritual. Seriously, at one point while I was guarding the Porta-Potties--to which the Iraqi-Americans had full access, BTW--one Iraqi-American man came up to me and told me that Sodom had killed his brothers and his entire family and I told him that I was his brother and we hugged then high-fived!!
I get a little misty-eyed just thinkin' back on it...MUD
