    The whole article.

    Of all the places in the world, it just had to spread to Iraq now. As if the people there don't have enough problems already.

    I heard that the birds were being smuggled to Syria.


    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now

    The dream is gone.
