Baker Qies, a 31-year-old Iraqi who maintains the Haifa Street station, says through an interpreter that he hope s the Iraqi government will someday grow strong and independent.

Until then, he wants the Americans to stay at least a little while longer.

“Sometimes I see and hear the Humvees and I fall right to sleep,” he sa ys. “If not, I don’t sleep at all.”

This is a rather long article. However, I have to say it is really worth the read, we have outstanding soldiers serving in Iraq.

PS May main pings are to military articles, if you wish to be removed send a private message and will gladly oblige.
