This American doesn't need to ---I have flown over the
Shatt-el -arab (the Biblical Tigris--Euphrates Junction )
many times ----went to Basra in an unauthorized Junk--
And viewed it wistfully from Khoramshur in Iran many
times as I sat under the Palm trees singing " A Loaf
of Bread,A Jug of Wine , and She--Singing beside
me in the Wilderness"
The one place I have trouble finding is the undefined
Country which had the DMDs----I spent 4 years in
the Area ---maybe that Mythical Country is ---as
my Arabic friends say is ---
"Between Iraq and a Hard Place " !
