U.S. troops stationed far north of Baghdad get the opportunity to interact with some Iraqi civilians - very early in the morning!

    • Very well done--you really break down all the elements you were witnessing, and for us sitting comfortably in the peaceful war zone that is America it is so impotrtant to have people like you giving us a close up look at the war front. Of course like the limited contents of the boxes--there is so much we will not be able to see. But your bravery for being there, even in a safe zone, is inspiring--thank you.

    • Great story. Love how you're letting the world see the human side to both the American soldiers and the Iraqi people.

    • This is an interesting example of US "soft power", or the efforts to make the world amiable to US interests by playing nice with them.

    • Read the side post. 70 percent of Iraqis don't have access to clean water, up from 50 percent four years ago (and there are fewer Iraqis in Iraq, so... you do the math).
