Philip, what can I say? My heart goes out to you for what you saw and  
felt in that place. I cried all the way through the reading of the 12  
page Nation article. We are not only alienating the Iraqi people we  
are destroying the mental health of our military folks. And for what?  
It is such a horrible inhumane mess.

Regards,
George Lottermoser
