#2 Caught Michael on Laura Inghram talk show this am. I didn't realize he has an SF background, and lost a good buddy at the Fallujah BBQ (I wish we could have dropped the Big One on those turds).

BTW I wouldn't trade all the lives in the ME for one of our brave soldiers.

#3 I am amazed sometimes at how European-looking many of these Iraqis are - perhaps those are Kurds ? I have never gotten quite that impression from Iranians. I wonder what ethnic group these children are from.

#4 From the location he mentions, and from the uncovered heads of most of the girls and the mixed classrooms, these are almost certainly Kurds, who are linguistically/ethnically IndoEuropean and not Arab.

Of course, so are the Iranians. ;-)
