You Can Pretend To Care, But You Can't Pretend To Be There

Or: The Neighborhood Watch Is Good People Too

BiilT has a great post on the underlying reason the Surge has had a positive effect on the war. How courtesy and invitations to join the family for food lead to bigger and better things. The words come from an Iraqi Aviator and summarize his life since the invasion. Husayn uses smaller words, so even us dumb Yanks can understand it. (Don't get me wrong, he's not disrespectful of Americans... I am.) Go and read it and smile.

Thanks, Instapundit.

We can only hope Husayn advances to a high rank in the IqAF. Clearly, with guys like him, there is great promise in Iraq.

The two notable incidents people should study on betrayal by Americans of American allies are the Diem Assassination and the overthrow of the Shah of Iran by Jimmy Carter and his Mullah allies.
