#1 Knowing these Marines, however, has given me hope for the future of America and its relationship with the Arab world.

I'm not convinced. Given the Arab penchant for denial, it's not out of the realm of possibility that they will claim that what is being heard and read about are simply all lies.

Come back when the Arab populace at large begins to take notice of these things.

#2 I wonder how well the Iraqis will get to know and understand the Marines. It could have a profound effect on them.

#3 That's my hope. After years of being hammered on that Americans are evil by the likes of Hussein and the assahollah ayatollahs, this is a chance for the Iraqi at large to see what we're all about, instead of swallowing the typical mullah-originated bullshit.
