Green Zone Blinders

This is a very good editorial in the Washington Post, about the writers and politicians who come to Iraq, boast of the progress we're making there, but yet never step out of the Green Zone, or if they do, they're surrounded by armed U.S. soldiers and Black Hawk helicopters. Now, it's still brave for these people to visit Iraq, but you're not going to get a truly realistic perspective of what's really going on there if you never step off the military base.
