Hi mystery "reporter" for SG on your way to Bagdad. ENJOY IRAQ! I have a little wish list for you.
First off--I would like you to see (in person) these things that I personally wish were not happening
Out of those "Freedom infused Iraqis" I would like you to bear witness to:
1) A bunch of Iraqi civilians get blown up by insurgents using explosives "lost" by the Rumsfeld "new lighter/faster military"
2) A dead Iraqi child (preferably in the hands of a "liberated" parent)
3) A living Iraqi child, sans-limbs, (preferably able to explain to your interpreter his or her plans for the future in the "New Iraq")
4) A living Iraqi baby (deformed by depleted uranium exposure by the mother)
5) A living Iraqi who has lost a brother (or sister or parent or child) to the extremely brave and not at all cowardly American bombing of urban centers like Falluja and Bagdad proper (preferably I would like you to witness them cursing out your "Iraqi Freedom Blog" pals, if they allow the rank and file Iraqis in the green zone)
Unfortunately, since you will not be joining the army, you will not be able to see the joys you have helped to foment for our military personnel first-hand. I hope though that some random soldier gets the chance to tell you exactly what it is like to have you friend killed in front of you or to kill an innocent civilian by mistake--and that it makes you wake up crying on a regular basis for the rest of your life.
Oh, dear mystery "reporter" for SG, how I wish that you could have done the work that my good friend Mike got to do--where he interviewed the families of every single firefighter killed in 9/11. I wish you could do have done it so he didn't get to carry that around in his (clearly misguided) liberal heart along with the stories of his Polish holocaust surviving grandparents. I wish that you would have the opportunity to share first hand stories from his close friends New York like witnessing a fire-fighter killed 30 feet in front of you by a falling body from the WTC.
Oh dear mystery "reporter" for SG--I wish that you could talk some sense into our liberal, sissy boy hearts. You could make all of this seem like a "great success story" after all,

That might just be the last straw for me around here.
But who knows: maybe the Iraqis will pull his head out of his ass for him.
I'll peak my head in.
