Im going to link to your photos later today if ok with u as it marries in nicely with this article above. The BBC and other media agencies ran a survey and concluded that actually the Iraqis are feeling pretty buoyed up by their government - the 'surprise' they speak of is only a surprise to the BBC (et ilk ) as they try to perpetuate this doom and gloom image of a chaotic Iraq
Thanks alison, b, and monicar :).
You Have a picture of me and my Late Military working Dog Basco(bosco was a misprint) A couple of months after the photo was taken Basco saved my life and in return lost his. He was an excelent friend. If you want the original pic to post contact me and ill email it to you.
