Please do not turn this into a "Hate America" thread. If you haven't been to Iraq, then you have no business talking down on not only the US, but other nations involved there as well. The civilians for the most part, deeply appreciate the foreign forces involved there.
Back on topic.
I am very impressed (and touched) by Russia's gesture. I am equally upset that this was not covered by the media.
