Pamphlet of the Moment
A WW2-era Short Guide to Iraq by the US War and Navy Departments (ah, those heady days before the euphemism of "The Defense Department".) For some reason I really appreciate rough etiquette like this...even worth putting up with the UI-crapness of PDF.

--Llara sent me this fwd last April, with the caption "Husband must have come home". Teehee!

Politics of the Moment
