"So, during the run of

Marv nor I were originally
crazy about his new name, in the long run, it seems to have won the

A Friend Writes from Baghdad...
01/07/2004 02:17 PMA remarkable and game young woman of my acquaintance, Alissa Everett,
set out on a tour of trouble in July of last year. She knocked around
the Balkans for a spell, then spent time with Palestinians in Gaza. By
this July, she'd made it to Baghdad. She has sent several dispatches
from there since then, the most recent arriving yesterday. In it, she
describes an Iraq reacting to the capture of Saddam Hussein that seems
quite different from the one portrayed by our media. Indeed, her Iraq
seems generally less encouraging than the one we're being told about.
I'm inclined to believe her. She is writing for her friends, not for
editors or advertisers. She is not an ideologue. She has sharp eyes
and a possibly pathological instinct for the very thick of it. Here is
her account: Thoughts from Baghdad... by Alissa Everett A shot in the
distance, the unmistakable sound of a Kalashnikov AK-47. Another, and
yet another, though no uncommon in Baghdad, the shots are growing
louder and the number increasing, from different directions. People
huddle and whisper; word on the streets is that Saddam Hussein has
been captured. "It's not true, I don't believe it," comments my Iraqi
host, an educated Christian woman who has spent four years living in
London. "I can't believe that Saddam Hussein could be captured alive.
And if it were true, there would be much more celebration." But, true
it was; and the mood in Baghdad was far less joyous than one would
have expected. Some did celebrate, though it was greatly exaggerated
by the media. However, most went about their daily lives with perhaps
a small smile at the inevitability of the event. Come nightfall, save
for some wild teenage boys, all was quiet. The reality of the dangers
of the street, robberies, kidnappings and shootings keeping local
minds on their personal safety rather than on celebrating America's
grand coup of capturing their former dictator....

06/07/2004 05:38 AM
Fl
ashback: Margaret Thatcher writes about Ronald Reagan. President
Reagan saw instinctively that pessimism itself was the disease and
that the cure for pessimism is optimism. He set about restoring faith
in the prospects of the American dream — a dream of boundless
opportunity built on enterprise, individual effort, and personal
generosity. He infused his own belief in America's economic future in
the American people. That was farsighted. It carried America through
the difficult early days of the 1981-82 recession, because people are
prepared to put up with sacrifices if they know that those sacrifices
are the foundations of future prosperity.

An Army officer serving in Iraq writes
An Army officer serving in Iraq writes
07/26/2004 04:12 AMI just ran across this brilliant essay, The Military: Losing Hearts
and Minds? by Captain Oscar R. Estrada, that was published earlier
this summer in the Washington Post. I can't believe that it hasn't
been more widely circulated. It is worth reading in it entirety, but
here are a few excerpts: The General and the Colonel have told us that
we are the main effort, at the forefront of helping to rebuild Iraq.
But how do you rebuild when all around you destruction and violence
continue? Do the facts and figures showing levels of electricity
restored, the amount of drinking water available, the number of
schools reconstructed or the numbers of police officers hired and
trained really convince the Iraqi people that we are here to help? Are
we winning their hearts and minds? Winning hearts and minds is my job,
in a nutshell. I'm an Army Reserve civil affairs (CA) officer
stationed in Baqubah, 30 miles northeast of Baghdad. In Vietnam,
winning hearts and minds was mostly a Special Forces task, but after
that they were smart enough to get out of it, and the responsibility
has since fallen into the laps of reservists like me who are trained
to deal with every conceivable problem that arises when Big Army meets
Little Civilian. And that's why CA soldiers are among those most often
deployed overseas in the Reserve. ... One day last week we rolled into
the town of Zaghniyah to win some of the local hearts and minds. In a
country where most people are unemployed, we offer the townspeople $1
for every bag of trash they can collect. Our "docs" -- medics,
assistants and physicians -- set up shop in the local health clinic
and we try to "engage local leadership." ... An old man waves me off
and tells me that they know the Americans control everything and will
do so as long as they are here. The rest of the men nod in agreement.
As the day wears on, every ray of sun seems to add weight to my Kevlar
helmet and body armor. I am at a loss as to why our efforts aren't
recognized or appreciated. But then, as I look at the children
collecting trash and the main road clogged with military vehicles, as
I watch one of our docs try to help a woman carrying a gaunt and
sickly baby in...
