The truth is, it wouldn't surprise me if the right wing radio hosts (see below) come back undeterred from their belief that life in Iraq is much better than the media portrays. As I wrote (holy crap!)
19 months ago, I think for some people it's hard to imagine anything inbetween "normal life" and "crouching under your bed in fear." Even when things are shit, life goes on, and unless a couple of IEDs go off near them, they'll decide Iraq isn't 24/7 Hell On Earth and that it's therefore Peachy.
