when i awoke yesterday morning, i awoke with the overwhelming feeling that something about the day was different. was it the ides of march? nope. that happened back on the fifteenth. national chocolate covered raisins day? nope. that's not until next wednesday. what was it? as i went through my usual morning routine, stepping out of the shower & into my "i'm hung like saddam" boxers, it finally hit me...it was the seventh anniversary of us invading iraq! i'm a sucker for anniversaries & the nostalgia that comes with them, so i decided to take a look back at all the good times we've had in iraq over the last seven years.
