The young fellow and I have completely different approaches to almost everything — some might say, charitably, that they are complementary approaches. But the truth is we have a lot in common as well. And I have a lot of respect for him, which is why I’ve been helping him out in whatever small ways I’ve been able to — mostly with (what I think is reasonable) advice which he may or may not take. Perhaps because our approaches are so different I didn’t think to promote his reports here, in spite of the fact that I am working with him on his project. But an email from a mutual friend convinced me otherwise. For the rest, I will let him speak with his own words.
My friend Tarek Loubani is in Iraq right now. This is his blog. Take a look.
