I have been reading the blog of a U.S. Air Force officer, Major Mark M. Binkowski. Reading this blog is sure to give anyone a completely different perspective on what's going on in Iraq.
Here's an excerpt from one of his posts:
Dear God,
You suck. I miss my family and everything I do reminds me of them and you suck. I was running on the treadmill in the gym, because it’s the only place you’re allowed to use an MP3 player., when the song Cats in the Cradle came on. And I just started crying. That’s Jack, asking me to play ball with him. Or just to cuddle. How could I be so stupid? Now I’m so sorry for every time I ever said I was too busy.
This place isn’t worth it. It’s not ready for democracy. It’s full of fanatics who put ideology before people. They blow people up for an idea - they blow themselves up! The only reason I’d willingly give my life would be to protect my family or friends. And these people are neither.

Major Binkowski,
I know this may be late in reaching you, but I totally agree with your views. Hang in there, a day at a time...things will get better. Believe me, I know. Give my regards to the family. Adios for now from sunny Spain. My e-mail address is Lohlander58@yahoo.es. Hope to hear from you when you have time. - Alex
