I told you a while back that I considered you and Robert to two of the best people I could imagine for the job of convincing people in other countries that we USAns are not all psychotic.
That opinion hasn't changed. But no matter how good you are, I seriously don't think there is anything that you or Robert (or Mal, bless him) can do to convince anyone in Iraq that our government isn't playing Colonialism II: Electric Boogaloo in the Fertile Crescent.
Stay safe, my beloved friend. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
