One Response to “A Failed War”
I read it and was very moved by his sincerity. Like a lot of the Iraq story, Nuri’s is just a small corner of a huge and still unfolding drama. What I was REALLY disappointed in was the comment section at the end of the article. I think America has lost the art of discussion – we can only yell and throw words at each other.
