Part of the difficulty is simply cultural. "If an Iraqi policeman stops someone on the street and asks them politely to do something," says al-Janabi of the I.N.A., "that person will be ready to be a ring on the policeman's finger. But if you shout at him like the Americans do and hurt his dignity--he will hate you." In Baghdad a U.S. special-forces officer sadly agrees. "We should have been culturally sensitive," he says. In places like Fallujah, he argues, "we should never have gone into people's houses. Saddam's soldiers never went into houses...
...cuff wit and sheer lunacy of the duo’s live performances. With most of the tracks simply lurching into the next, Grape-a-Don never gets the chance to fully develop his loose cannon personality.

Moore graduated from West Point, served in Vietnam in the military police and earned his law degree at the University of Alabama. After losing a hard-fought election for circuit judge in 1982, Moore turned from law to more exotic battles, training as a kickboxer...
...homework and no TV until the homework is done." If you let them make the choice, they're slightly more likely to do it. Also, don't force kids to do homework at their desk if they feel most comfortable in the kitchen or living room, where they can shout out questions to their mother. But parents shouldn't do the homework for them. I saw a lot of that...
