  Ladies, I heard from Rick today. I e-mailed him concerning his report on a soldier being killed in an explosion and the reaction to the soldier's death from some of the Iraqi bystanders. I could tell when he made his first report that he was upset when he said that some of the Iraqis were laughing at the soldier being killed. When he made a subsequent report, he didn't mention the Iraqis laughing, so that's what I asked him about. When he responded he said that he was trying not to repeat himself and that he also "didn't want to give too much attention to a small group of despicable individuals who don't deserve the air time. " I think that he was still upset, which is perfectly understandable. I was outraged at such callousness.
To be fair to the Iraqis, Rick did say that there were Iraqis present who (according to Rick's interpreter) reprimanded the laughing Iraqis for their reaction. I couldn't help but think about the family of the soldier killed. It would be heartbreaking enough to have him die, but to have people (more like fiends) laughing at his being killed is piling on additional pain. Rick also remarked on the strong anti-American feeling and said that he was trying to be as careful as possible.
Let's please pray for him and for the others in Iraq. (And, yes, he still doesn't use the shift key) Lol! Natalie - This has been a great day for the hotties. Why can't everyday be like this? It might be a good idea to send Fox an e-mail telling them how much we appreciate seeing so many of the hotties. It was nice seeing Jeff outside with his hair blowing in the wind, even though it was obviously cold. I know, Natalie, that you'll do fine in your agent/broker licensing class. After all, you are a LevenGal, and that means that you're a cut above all of the gals who are, um, just gals. Lol!
