| #4 Astonishing story that goes far beyond politics. Shakespearian, almost-- her father and step-family are twisted, wicked characters who would make Lear's daughters seem gentle by comparison. If I were a screenwriter or producer I'd option that story, now. It's especially telling that this noble woman stayed in Baghdad during the war while her cowardly and vicious father and step-family hightailed it to Turkey. |

| #3 I sense that only a small minority of Iraqis are willing to pay the price of EARNING freedom Is it not EVER thus? How many Americans were in the Continental Army? Bruce Catton in the Army of the Potomac, speaks of the relatively small core of early volunteers who were the tough core of that army even through the campaign of 1864, surrounded by bounty jumpers, etc - not to mention the millions who avoided service altogether. Its always a few heroes who make nations (Pardon I feel myself sounding uncharecteristically "tory") |

| #1 Well, this lady belongs in "Profiles in Courage" section. Get her into the US Army, get her to airborne school, and let her go give it her best. I sense that only a small minority of Iraqis are willing to pay the price of EARNING freedom. Here's one. More power to her - she has my utmost respect. |
