It seems weird that i had to turn on the sprinklers yesterday. I do miss winter and we needed it. It is a little bit early for wine but we can talk about the no because these warm temperatures are starting the budding season with record temperatures including tuesday 81 in santa rosa has many of these finds popping.

Iraqis as a government, as a Political Class need to be humble a little bit and look at what other countries have done the postconflict situations, learn from their own history and the history of others come and seek as much expertise rather than invent the wheel or get the task to again similar to the system of politics in iraq and end up not doing the job right and having to redo it time and again.

They dont have to be one after the other because i said already it is to come first before anything else. What is reconciliation . A couple of days ago Daniel Serwer and myself on the conference and it was a talk about the confl
