My convoy rode through Baghdad.
As we were going through, I heard over my headset one of the Soldier saying:
“Hey look a Paperboy–you don’t see those everyday.”
“Things are starting to get back to normal.”
I saw several more through out the trip. On the way back that night, I saw little shops–sidewalk shops open for business.
This is a city returning to normal. Yes, there is still a danger. There is still a security threat, but it is good to see something as simple as a paperboy on the street.
It is good to see progress towards peace.
