Today’s Washington Post features an editorial written by Angelina Jolie. It’s about her recent visit to Iraq and the refugee crisis there.
The request is familiar to American ears: “Bring them home.”
But in Iraq, where I’ve just met with American and Iraqi leaders, the phrase carries a different meaning. It does not refer to the departure of U.S. troops, but to the return of the millions of innocent Iraqis who have been driven out of their homes and, in many cases, out of the country.

Yeah, I’ve been meaning to read that book, too, but my schedule’s hectic. Thanks for the heads up on it :) Heh, I forgot the title, too, though.
Are you a journalist? :) I think it’s a very good and reputable job. That was my sister’s major, but she says it’s also competitive as graphic design (which is what I do).
