"You can't give democracy." (being a report of a socio-political discussion)

D.S.  (a co-worker) and I ended up in a conversation with a police sergeant from a neighboring town, today, who, it turned out, had been in Iraq with another of our co-workers in the reserves.  This police sergeant served as a First Sergeant training Iraqi military.  Quite interesting - and amusing, the way he told it, though I'm sure it was a little frustrating for him while he was there.  I'm sure I won't be able to reproduce the way he told these stories, but here's the short version. 

( Inshallah )

Anyway.  Other than that, boring day.
