Iraqi "Miricles"

Capt. Scott Southworth knew he'd face violence, political strife and blistering heat when he was deployed to one of Baghdad's most dangerous areas. But he didn't expect Ala'a Eddeen.

Ala'a was 9 years old, strong of will but weak of body ? he suffered from cerebral palsy and weighed just 55 pounds. He lived among about 20 kids with physical or mental disabilities at the Mother Teresa orphanage, under the care of nuns who preserved this small oasis in a dangerous place.

He clearly has thrived. At 13, he's doubled his weight to 111 pounds.

Capt. Scott Southworth adopted Ala'a despite the challenges and impossible odd's against it. 

I read this and couldn't help but be moved by it. I hear constantly how much we're doing wrong in Iraq and how we shouldn't be there.

Well I have to say that if we weren't there stories like this would never happen. So I would ask everyone to take a look at one incredibly wonderful story of what's being done right.

Please read the whole article it'll make you feel good.
