Iraqi adoption
Please...PLEASE let us know how we can help these children. I have three young children of my own and I think it would be a wonderful opportunity to teach them to love their fellow man if they could help these children. Imagine the goodwill we average Americans could foster in a country that resents us so! Winning the "war" is one thing...winning the peace an even greater priority!
Do they need clothes? School materials? Books? Computers?
Could we host them in our homes? How can we communicate to these children that they are loved and that they can have a bright and happy future?

The death and maiming of members of media bring the suffering of millions of Iraqis in sharper focus.War is hell. Talk is cheap.Seeing is believing.

I have read the other comments of so many americans who want to help these children, and I think it's awesome. We americans have always been heartwrenched when we see these poor children caught in the middle of a senless war. LETS DO SOMETHING!!!

Richard I speak with your Mom frequently and while she
always has a stiff upper lip, her advice to you came
from her heart. As she said, every time she mentions
when are you getting out of there (Bagdad) your almost
immediate response is "Mom sorry but I have got to go" and then there is a click. Your reporting is heart wrenching and showing the other side of the war shows the horrors and the inhumanity you see and report upon daily close to home. You are doing one terrific job! AND congratulations are in store. Hope to see you reporting soon from Beriut!!!
