The Iraqi bloggers from Iraq the Model were in the States recently, in New York and D.C., with some west coast cities coming up.
Glenn notes he had to turn down an invitation to go D.C. to meet them. Well, I got an invitation to that event, too. Really. But I'm sure it wasn't as personal as Glenn's probably was. As a donor to Spirit of America, (by the way, please give!) I received an email inviting me to the meet-and-greets. And I would have loved to have gone -- but circumstances being what they are (four kids, homeschooling, Christmas coming soon, no frequent flyer tickets) it just wasn't in the cards.
I hope they're having a wonderful time on their grand tour of the States, and I hope they get to meet many of the people who support them. They met the President, those lucky dogs, so that's a good thing.
You really should check in with the blogging brothers every so often. Here's a delightful quote from a recent post:
It was really confusing to me in the beginning that liberals would not support the change in Iraq (remember we were isolated so we didn't know much about that) even though they were against Bush, as it's over now and any humanist should (in my mind) support democracy and peace in Iraq. Besides, I've always considered myself a liberal! On the other side, I had a bad impression that many of the people on the right were fanatics and racist! How much did we learn in this year!
