The War within a War.
There are two wars going on here in Iraq. One is the war that you see in the newspapers and on TV. The other is one that most people are not willing to speak about. For this second, little known and very seldom acknowledged, war is not the thing the American Government wants you to know about. This war is one that exists here inside the walls of this highly fortified and well protected compound. This secret war is one that divides the people who call this place home. This secret war is something that has the potential to break apart the coalition that exists here inside these walls. This war causes many Americans to lose heart, and is beginning to break us all. This war is volleyball.
There are several, very small men from Nepal here on the compound. These men although very small in stature, are virtual giants on the volleyball court. I think volleyball is the national sport of Nepal, and if it isn’t then they need to rethink their national sport, because they are freakin’ good at it. Watching them play is like watching Jordan shoot a fall-away jumper. These men have formed a team. That team of rag-tag volleyball warriors average 5’5” in height. They play against the Americans here almost nightly, and manage to wipe the court with us. We Americans, who as a team average 6’0”, don’t stand a chance. It has become an obsession, of sorts, for many here. But alas, we continue to lose. Spirits are high, and so is morale, but we can sense to defeat as soon as the first spike is unleashed from the side of those tiny volleyball gods. Average scores look like this: Nepal 15, America 6. Man we suck. Occasionally we sneak in a victory, but usually when they are kind enough not to destroy us, we overdo the celebration. We proceed to chant, parade and dance, like any good American would, we rub it in. This celebration is always short lived, for they tire of our gloating very quickly and then defeat so overwhelmingly that all we can do is stand there and watch. It is very humbling.
However, being the good Americans that we are, we always ensure to end every game with the traditional little league inspired, “Good Game” hand-shake line. And then, just like the true Americans we are, we start to blame each other. Volleyball is the most depressing sport God ever put on planet.

Update on Rob
Hello all,
So I have been in Iraq for 3 months now. It has been a strange couple of months so far. We first showed up and things were beginning to calm down. The elections took place and everything seemed to be looking up. Then suddenly the terrorists decided that the Government in Iraq might be for real, so they are now doing everything they can to destroy this country. The vast majority of Iraqis are very optimistic about the future of this country. They have watched the last 3 months as the government was voted in and is now finally beginning to take shape. There are a lot of influences here, all trying to get something, all trying to push the leaders of this new country in 1000 different directions. The pressure being placed on men like Jafari and Talabani is extreme. Being in Iraq at this time is like being a part of history. Watching as these men and others like them, work for freedom for their entire country. It makes me think of the founding fathers of our own country. Men like George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and the rest of the men who made America great.
Being in Iraq at this time is probably a lot like being with General George Washington, as he and his men quietly got into their boats and sneaked across the Delaware River, out into the Atlantic Ocean, through the Panama Canal, and eventually discovered the state of Washington. How cool that must have been to land in a place that has the same name as you.
Maybe it is like being with Thomas Jefferson on his apple farm. Being there that cold night in late March 1821, when he invented freedom.
Or, how about being there when Benjamin Franklin stole the key to Louisiana, from the Dutch, then lured them into Wounded Knee, where he and the rest of the Mexican Army surrounded them and finally defeated Hitler’s Nazis.
Being here is like watching Abraham Lincoln bring his country back from the brink of destruction. Abe Lincoln was also known as “The Rail Splitter” for his ability to crush the skull of a fully grown wolverine with his bare hands. Back in 1902, when Lincoln was the President, wolverines were commonly referred to as “rails”.
How about being there when Hammerin’ Hank Aaron delivered on his promise to defeat the Indianapolis Colt in Super Bowl XXMCIIXVCMMI, I think that means 2, but I have never been good at Italian.
You don’t have to go to the other side of the world to experience history. You can make history in your own backyard. It is easy to make, all you need is a ¼ cup of margarine, 3 tlbs. of mayonnaise, a pinch of asparagus, 3 coffee beans, and voila you have History.
Sadly there are people in the world who have very little knowledge of the rich history of America. America is oldest country on the planet, yet sadly there are some people in the world who know virtually nothing about our past. Did you that over half of the world’s 500 trillion people are not American? It is true. There are a whole lot of non-Americans in this world. It is our job as Americans to ensure that those people have every chance to experience what America is really about: Freedom, Democracy, Equality, 7-11 Slurpees and BBQ Potato Chips. These are the things that have made America the greatest country on the planet for the last 831 years. With hard work and determination, Iraq will one day be great. With some work and a few more bad teeth, Iraq will be as good as England. With no work, a great influx of prostitutes and a serious attitude problem, Iraq will be equal with France. No matter what, Iraq is already better than Canada.
Rebuilding Iraq will take time and effort, I mean the great Amish war was nearly 500 years ago, and those people are still struggling to get electricity to their country. We must remember the past and focus on the future. We should look to Japan as a model of reconstruction. Godzilla destroys that country about once every three years, and they continue to rebuild and make things that are really tiny.
In summary, pay attention to the world around you, and learn your history. Learning history is what has taken me to places I never imagined.

Iraqi Businessman Says His Country Appreciates Americans' Sacrifices
By Sgt. 1st Class Doug Sample, USA
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, May 1, 2005 - Rubar S. Sandi, an Iraqi businessman, wants the
American public to know U.S. troops killed in Iraq have not died in vain.
"Your sons, your husband," he said to the wife of Army Capt. Bill Jacobsen who died in a suicide-bomb attack in Mosul Iraq "I don't call them dead; they live in every one of us.
"You all need to be proud of your sons and daughters" he said. "They are doing
a terrific job. Their lives have definitely not been wasted. They are there
because of you."
Sandi an outspoken critic of Saddam Hussein was a guest speaker at an April 27
luncheon sponsored by the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors which aims
to help families through the grief process.
Sandi, president and CEO of The Sandi Group, a security and logistics firm with
headquarters in Washington and Baghdad and one of the largest employers in
Iraq said that despite the violence in Iraq the majority of Iraqis appreciate
the sacrifice U.S. servicemembers have made for their country.
"The message (Iraqis) have for America is to please stay" he said.
Sandi explained that Iraqis see violence against Americans as a "horrible
thing."
"If you ask the Iraqi people the majority -- 95 percent -- will say they are
happier" he said. "If you go through the streets of Baghdad you see restaurants
and tea shops open until (2 or 3 a.m.). "'If you asked them 'Are you happy?' They will say 'Absolutely'" he said.
However, Sandi said it is the stories of servicemembers dying in violent
car-bomb attacks that grab media headlines. Such violence overshadows how happy
Iraqis are about the tremendous progress being made "from health to education to
electricity to clean water" he said.
"People have hope that's the biggest progress that you can imagine" he
explained. "During Saddam, people were dying for nothing their lives were
worthless."
Sandi told the group he understands the pain of Americans who have lost loved
ones fighting for Iraq's freedom. He said several of his security personnel have
been "killed and executed" by terrorists, and others have died defending against
insurgent attacks on U.S. servicemembers.
"We are fighting side by side with your sons and daughters" he said. "We are
fighting for the same cause.
"I do pray for President Bush the Americans and specifically for the U.S. armed
forces for their dedication and for them sacrificing their lives to defend
freedom" he added. "Even if you don't believe in Iraq you must believe in
America."
Sandi also told the group that he believes peace will one day come to Iraq but
it will be a "long journey."
"We have to take it step by step" he said. "Things will get better."

Ouch, ow, uhh, son of a ...
It is called “hhhert”. Make the “H” sound really hard, the back of your throat. That is what I and Obi-Won-Jim-Koby (1LT Koby) had done to us today. Curious yet? Of course you are. Well I shall expand. We both got haircuts today, Iraqi haircuts. I have had a few before, but today I dragged Jim along and forced him to get the “hhhert” treatment. What is this “hhhert” treatment? First your face gets plastered with talcum powder. Then the barber take a piece of thread, winds it between his fingers, in a triangle type shape. Then he runs the free running end into his mouth. He places the triangle on your face, and then the hands start moving like a Bruce Lee movie. The thread and the hands become this hair removal machine like no other. The head bobs up and down, moving the thread back and forth, it is so bizarre, I had to take photos to help explain it all. Words just fail the whole experience. When you are all done you have no hair on your forehead, nose, ears, upper cheeks and your eyebrows are very well groomed. It is very painful, but I know you would be proud to know that I was not letting my eyebrows merge together into one, all powerful, eyebrow.

Luke I am Your Father
The following is what happens when you send men, cut off from the rest of the world, toys. . . .
Well, I just thought I would let you know that a horrible fight broke out in the compound last night. It had nothing to do with the war, it was just two of the guys who live here. One of the guys started saying something about the other guy’s father. I didn’t really hear all that was said, but there were was a great deal of talk about fathers and forces. It was bizarre. One thing led to another and before you know it, they were going at it. I guess everyone is just on edge, and emotions got too high. Anyway, the fight was really brutal, and before it was all over one of the guys lost a hand. Somebody had a camera, and took some pictures. It might seem kind of weird for us to just stand by and let two guys go at it like that but we did. It was an epic battle, to say the least. The pictures might help explain it a little better.

Fat Boy Friday
Hello to all of you,
So let me preface this letter by saying that I am a big believer in proper diet and good, hard exercise. I spent six days of the week eating things like egg whites, plain oatmeal, chicken breasts, broccoli and other such healthy food. I also make it to the gym five or six days a week. Now I don’t just go to the gym, a push myself very hard when I am there. I mean what is the point of going, if you are not going to make it count. That being said, I would like to introduce you all to a little thing I like to call “FAT BOY FRIDAY.”
I spend six days of the week (Saturday thru Thursday) living life as described above. Friday is a different story. Friday is the one day a week I can eat anything I want. Fat Boy Friday is becoming something of a legend around here. Most people who live with me are well aware of Fat Boy Friday. It really is a thing of beauty.
So I imagine you are asking yourself what is it exactly that one would consume, if one was going to participate in Fat Boy Friday. Well, since you asked I will tell you. Let me expunge:
Breakfast: 9 strips of bacon, 2 hash brown patties, 2 waffles with ice cream and chocolate, OJ, Chocolate Milk, Strawberry Milk, Red Bull Energy Drink.
Snack: Chocolate Filled Pastry, 1 large cup of coffee.
Snack: M’azing brand candy bar, can of Coke.
Lunch: 2 slices of Pepperoni Pizza, French Fries, 3 glasses of sweet tea, 1 slice of chocolate swirl cheesecake.
Snack: Entire can of Pringles, can of Strawberry Fanta.
Snack: M’azing brand candy bar, can of Coke.
Dinner: 4 large chicken strips, Mashed potatoes and gravy, 2 sweet teas, can of Coke, Coke Float (coke and ice cream).
Snack: Twix brand candy bar, can of Coke.
Jealous much?
This is just what I ate today, and the day is not over yet. So far I have eaten 8 times today. If any of you would care to sit down and figure out the calories consumed I would be really interested to find out. I myself am not going to count, but if any of you do, please tell me what you find out.
Anyway, I just thought I would give you all one more peak inside my brain. I have to go now. I think I am going to throw up.
Love,
S. Robert Meehl

Urgent Prayer Request
Subject: Urgent Prayer request
From: Vicky Field
Subject: My son has been shot in Fallujah.
I wanted to get everyone to pray for my son Chad. Today, Sunday, I got a call from the Army, that my son had been shot in the head. I am asking for all your prayers. He was in a Humvee going through Fallujah fighting and a gang of militia fighteres fired on the Humvee and hit Chad in the head.
The driver got him out of the city and took him to Baghdad. He was in fatal condition, but now has been upgraded to stable critical. His dad and I are on standby to fly to Washington then on to Germany as soon as the military calls us to go. The Army is trying to stabilize him enough to fly to Germany and at that time, we will leave.
Please pray that my son will not have brain damage and that he will be restored and healed by the blood of Jesus, and the grace of God. I ask for you to pass this prayer request on so there will be many prayer warriors praying for him.
Thank you so much and I will keep you updated on his condition.
God Bless,
Vicky Field
Granbury, Texas
Please pray for this young soldier and please pass this request along to those who will pray for him.

I wanted to get everyone to pray for my son Chad. Today, Sunday, I got a call from the Army, that my son had been shot in the head. I am asking for all your prayers. He was in a Humvee going through Fallujah fighting and a gang of militia fighteres fired on the Humvee and hit Chad in the head.
The driver got him out of the city and took him to Baghdad. He was in fatal condition, but now has been upgraded to stable critical. His dad and I are on standby to fly to Washington then on to Germany as soon as the military calls us to go. The Army is trying to stabilize him enough to fly to Germany and at that time, we will leave.
Please pray that my son will not have brain damage and that he will be restored and healed by the blood of Jesus, and the grace of God. I ask for you to pass this prayer request on so there will be many prayer warriors praying for him.
Thank you so much and I will keep you updated on his condition.
God Bless,

Please pray for this young soldier and please pass this request along to those who will pray for him.
