The future of Iraq

Something that just doesn't get enough attention in the media's "coverage" of Iraq are the countless small things our troops do to help rebuild communities ruined by years of neglect, corruption, and war. Last week soldiers from Georgia's own 48th Brigade delivered desks they'd built by hand to three local schools in An Nasiriyah so the children there can each have their own desks, instead of sitting two or three to a desk as they do now.


The goodwill being generated by our great men and women serving there should pay dividends in the long run - especially among Iraqi children, who represent the future of that country.
