High Times At 30, Getting Its Head Together By Peter Carlson, Washington Post
Enders, a freelancer from Michigan, covers more than just the dope scene in Baghdad. He also writes about U.S. soldiers and the nutty do-gooders who've swarmed into Iraq and about Hamid, 'a 26-year-old translator/bodyguard/heavy-metal fan.' Hamid was an Iraqi soldier until he deliberately shot himself in the leg to avoid fighting the Americans and now smokes weed and writes protest lyrics set to the tune of 'The Wall' by Pink Floyd: 'We don't need no occupation, We don't need no CPA. . . . '
'The desire to leave,' Enders concludes, 'is the only thing US soldiers and Iraqis have in common.'------------------------------------------- posted 4:45 PM :: reference link ::
