Mark, thanks for the good reminder. I work with a colonel in the reserves
who just got back from Irag. He was with a surgical support team (he's a
nurse anesthetist) and said that they were with a forward unit that spent
much time taking care of Irag people as well as the soldiers. He said that
many of the Irag people would have only one word or two and say over and
over, "freedom, thank you". He feels that this will take 5-7 years to have
things for the Irag people in place, but is absolutely certain that we
should be there. Now..don't want to get in any political discussion, and am
not a war person, but do get a new perspective working with him as he was
there. He expects his unit will go back again in January or February. Joyce
