Totally unqualified to rebuild Iraq
Today's Boston Globe has an interesting story about two Northeastern University drop-outs who went from selling "Yankees Suck" T-shirts outside Fenway Park to civilian workers of the provisional government in Iraq. Totally unqualified to rebuild Iraq is an entertaining article to read and looks like a good book and maybe mini-series will come out of it for the two Beantown boys...
``At the end of all of that, I realized I wasn't living my life the way that I wanted or should have been," Neumann says. `` I'm 30 years old now, definitely not old, but I can't be running around acting like I'm 18. Being in Iraq was a major, major reality check. As corny as it sounds, it put a lot of things in perspective. It made me rethink how I've been living so far."

    That was a great article. An improbable story that I'm sure will attract much attention as a book and mini-series. Their experience does put me in a mindset of thinking outside the box and re-examining things. Although I don't think I will go to Iraq anytime soon. Thanks for the post.
