April 5, 2008
Plenty of videos from Iraq and Afghanistan on YouTube, but this one surfaced in the last day or so. God bless the troops and keep them safe. It’s clear that this effort is hard and has been and will be dangerous.

“I hate Islam and all the clerics because they limit our freedom every day and their instruction became heavy over us,” said Sara, a high school student in Basra. “Most of the girls in my high school hate that Islamic people control the authority because they don’t deserve to be rulers.”
Well there ya go.
