Time, Patience, Understanding

Michelle Malkin blogs from Iraq. If it doesn't look glamorous, that's because it's not. Here's her blogging, with links to a vlog and an upcoming New York Post article:

I came to Iraq a darkening pessimist about the war, due in large part to my doubts about the compatability of Islam and Western-style democracy, but also as a result of the steady, sensational diet of “grim milestone” and “daily IED count” media coverage that aids the insurgency. I left Iraq with unexpected hope and resolve. The everyday bravery and consummate professionalism of the troops I embedded with has strengthened my faith in the U.S. military.

Go Michelle. Go troops.
