Visiting Iraqi's

A good friend and fellow Bengals/Reds fanatic worked in Butler County, Ohio on the GOTV program for President Bush. Check out his letter to the editor in the Enquirer today.

On Monday, while working the phone banks at GOP headquarters in Butler County, we had a visit by a State Department-led group of foreign visitors. Included in the group were five or six Iraqi nationals. When we explained to them what we were doing, they came over to all of the volunteers, profusely thanking us for what we were doing. A number of them said that we had sent them a "savior" and that they prayed for our country and our people. When they left, many hugs and handshakes were exchanged.

I'm not one that is prone to outward displays of emotion, but this was a genuinely moving experience and a perspective that we don't usually get from the American media.
