Married To Iraq

I love the cover of the latest edition of Newsweek and the cover story is a must read.

The war in Iraq has produced thousands of young American widows and fatherless and motherless children; and more thousands of lonely wives and girlfriends whose husbands and boyfriends are risking their precious lives in the erroneous war in Iraq.

The October 22 issue of Newsweek (on newsstands Monday, October 15), "Married to Iraq" delves into the strikingly few marriages between soldiers serving in Iraq and civilians, compared to previous wars. Couples untied in Iraq share their compelling stories of how they overcame religious and cultural differences and endured months and years of waiting for visas. Plus: Blackwater's Erik Prince discusses the company's role in Iraq and its future.
