The American Hostage

I heard more about the American hostage today, a contractor who is over there because he couldn't find work in America and he needed to pay off the debts from his failed dairy farm. There are a lot of people like that in Iraq: people with no ability to get decent paying wages here and reach a point of desperation so great, they'll consider going into a war zone just to get better than minimum wage.

Speaks volumes about George Bush's America to me.
