   [1]Bill Ardolino reports from Iraq, [2]Michael Totten is off to Iraq,
   and on C-Span, [3]Pamela Hess explains why we have to [4]stay there
   for a while:

     "...and he's talking to me very low, under the chatter, and what he
     said was 'Every morning I wake up, and I feel like I'm pushing a
     little girl out of the way of a bus. And I pick her up, and I bring
     her to the other side of the road, and I've saved that little
     girl,' he said, 'every day I feel like that.' And in fact that is
     what is happening there. I can't tell you--" ...

     "...this is what these people outside or the Green Zone are seeing
     and dealing with every day, it's real evil, and it's, that's a hard
     word I think for people here to hear... so it's a hard word to say,
     but I'm just not sure how you can, how, what other word there can
     be for people who are shooting kids in the face."

   If we would [5]weaken that evil instead of legitimizing and [6]allying
   with it, that would also help..
