The reality of Iraq

This is an interesting letter written by Wall Street Journal reporter Farnaz Fassihi to his friends. He tells about what it is like to be in Iraq on a daily basis. Why isn't this stuff making it into news stories?

It is interesting we have forced the Iraqis to trade their relative security (yes I know Sadaam was an evil leader---but people weren't dying this fast) for more freedom, but here in the U.S. we are being forced to trade our freedom for supposedly more freedom. Has either the U.S. or Iraq really gotten what they want or need in this mess?
