When I told people that I was getting ready to head back to Iraq for my third tour, the usual response was a frown, a somber head shake and even the occasional "I'm sorry." When I told them that I was glad to be going back, the response was awkward disbelief, a fake smile and a change of subject. The common wisdom seems to be that Iraq is an unwinnable war and a quagmire and that the only thing left to decide is how quickly we withdraw.

Hey everyone!

It is 7:15 a.m. in Bagahad (I hope I spelled that right)and Iraqi's are going to the polls to elect their first government in who knows how long. I wish them good luck and many blessings. It is a hard road to travel but it is worth it.
