One Final Thought
Topic: Political Rant
I thought about the issue of Iraqis working for the Americans throughout the day. Call me an Iraqi lover. Call me a wacko lefty. You can even say I've "gone native." Screw all of that. These people are dying. Insurgents are hunting them down and killing them.

Iraq is at war, and lots of people are dying. Soldiers are dying. Innocent people are dying. Insurgents are dying. Children are dying, and the Iraqis working for the U.S. are dying. The Iraqis working for the Americans risk their lives in ways that the typical civilian will never do, and they do it every day. I just want a few more people to understand what the average Iraqi working for the Americans is going through on a daily basis. I am surrounded by Iraqis, yet most of their American coworkers have no idea what is happening to them.
