Voices of Iraq

"Voices of Iraq" is not easy to watch, especially when the voices are so optimistic: "I want to be a lawyer," "I want Iraq to be the greatest country in the world," "I want to get married." What if they're wrong? (Their comments are intercut with Internet videos made by insurgents planting bombs.) Then again, who knows better what is possible than the people of Iraq themselves? It's good that Messrs. Manes and Kunert (who cut their teeth on MTV reality TV) and Mr. Drury thought to ask them.

Kerry is a piss poor senator, nothing more.
Kerry will never be a President.

Andy:

No vulgarity allowed on the blog! The K-word and elected all in the same comment is way out of bounds.

Straighten up.
