This is the best story written by someone who has been in Iraq during the conflict that I have read. David Morris is a teacher at UCLA (and a journalist, it seems) who has written this compelling story about being on the ground and being in the crosshairs of someone else’s scope.

Well I’m back from overseas now - hello to everyone!

 The trip was absolutely fantastic and I was so sad to come home but it had to happen.
