Two weeks ago I rode and talked for 2 hours on an airplane with a Medevac pilot on leave from Iraq. He said that originally the kids threw stones at Americans and gave a thumbs down signal. Now they smile and wave. He also said that the media consistently make things look bad.

He also said that if an Iraqi(s) shoots at Americans and is wounded himself, then it is his job to pick up the Americans and the Iraqi and take them all to the hospital for treatment.

I never heard that on the news. My husband, who is a great reader of history books, tells me that this is basically normal behavior in war.

I am not in favor of Bush or the war, but I am in favor of gettng the whole story.
