Sunny day today. Blue skies. Hot. Preparing to go on leave. Lots to get done before I go. Brings to mind all that needs to get done in this country before we (the US) fully pull out next year. There is not nearly enough time. Many people (Iraqi and foreign) have worked hard, many paying with their lives, to bring progress to the region and it is unfortunate that we will go before it truly has a chance to take root. What we have done here is give them a brief glimpse of what could be. Hopefully that will be enough to grow but with all the internal and external forces at work there are many who doubt it.
Lunch: Baked chicken & green beans. Side spinach salad with low fat Italian dressing. Strawberry yogurt and sweet tea. A few moments alone to read Stars and Stripes. Nice.
