Lots of Troop Love in Wisconsin

Southeastern Wisconsin residents swamped local Red Cross offices with care packages. The Milwaukee office had so much traffic there was no room in the parking lot. Millie Tischendorf said it best, "This is the only way I can help. What else can I do?" Even the local Hmong community donated. Sometimes multiculturalism isn't such a bad thing.

In a similar vein, a call should go out for care packages for Iraqis. Like the President has said time and time again, our beef isn't with the Iraqi people, it's with the Butcher of Baghdad. A few truckloads of M&Ms, blankets, soap, and teddy bears could help win the trust of the people over there.
