"They will beat their swords into plowshares..."

Last week I had the opportunity to visit the prison grounds where Saddam Hussein's army was responsible for the torture, rape, and murder of tens of thousands of Kurds.

Its one of those places that has so much shock and horror attached to it that its surreal. Tanks and machine guns scattered around the campus are left out for the public to observe, climb on, enjoy. Its so easy to talk about the facts that happened there without any understanding of what those people actually went through.


I'm not even going to try.

Dreaming of Rabbits

I recently got to know the neighborhood kids--what a way to make friends! It may sound silly but they're so welcoming and fun, so eager to show me the games they play and the things they like to do.
