Just like fashion, if you hang on long enough, things come around full circle. Just like Qaddafi– 1980’s super villain freak, 2009 sticky handed friend of Condi Rice.
Just as a reminder, in the 1980’s Saddam was our pal (shown here with a dapper Don Rumsfeld).
And of course everybody’s favorite freedom fighters of the 1980’s the Taliban, shown here with ace face Ronnie Reagan.

1I’ve ordered your book from Amazon; I’m looking forward to reading it. Just wondering–what did you think of “Price of the Marshes” by Rory Stewart, and how does your book/experiences compare?

2I read it when it first came out, but need to re-read it now in light of my own trip to the desert.
That said, unlike Rory’s book, I am not the main character in mine. I don’t mean that in a nasty way. Rory is an interesting person caught up in interesting events. In my book, I try to play a more reporter role, with less of me as the story.
