I served in Abu Ghraib last year, I can tell you the real Abu and the Abu of popular imagination are on different worlds. That is besides the point. Calm down and drink a beer, your an American, be proud of it. Go ahead let a women curse you out, in the real world Ireland is more linked with the United States then ever before. In the real world we have seen more pro-american governments elected in Europe then not. Its a free world for some of us, due in thanks to the sacrifice courage of millions, be they Lech Walesa, Martin Luther King, about 30-40 million United States and allied soldiers, be they Iraqi, Free French, German, Polish, Israeli, Japanese, South Korean, I could go on. Don't lose heart, be proud, be happy, be American. Are we all saints? NO, but we have made the world a good place and we are moving forward into a new century. Sgt Robert Verdi
