This weekend I spoke to my wee little niece. She is five...soon to be six. It's always an adventure talking to her as sometimes it's difficult to follow her train of thought as she jumps from topic to topic rather quickly.

When she got on the phone I asked how life was treating her...

She responded with, "Baghdad, Baghdad, Baghdad...that's all everyone talks about anymore."

I told her that I understood.
