Having just now watched Obama's speech on health care - and having been directed to your blog by your mother today at a meeting of the Vermonmt Humanities Council - I congratulate you on your keen observations. (Which I appreciated earlier - thanks again to your mother - when I read your thoughts from Baghdad.) Keep up the good observing, and add me, if possible, to your future posts.

Thnaks,
