The American government will do anything to suck up to the locals and get their oil  >:( Even if it means being hypocrites!

I can't believe they put down 4 of the cats that guy wanted to take back with him, how horrible is that?  >:( :shocked:
At least he got Missy out- and as for Louise; amazing woman is all I can say  :wow:

The one bit I didn't like was

"Thousands of stray cats and dogs in Baghdad's Green Zone and on U.S. military installations have been trapped and euthanized under a U.S.-funded program."  >:(

The title may seem strange, but something positive can be witnessed indeed in this country.
