OPERATION GIVE. Photon Courier discovers that A Small Victory's Michele has set up a web site for Chief Wiggles's toy drive.

It's worth checking the Chief's site for updates on the toy drive (including school supplies, toothbrushes and toothpaste) and the campaign to free the generals. The first platoons of the new Iraqi Army are completing basic training (or is it retraining into the ways of civil society?) One thing my parents' generation learned in World War II is that the help of Germans, including influential Germans, who weren't mad Nazis was helpful in getting Germany up and running again. Isn't the same thing true for influential Iraqis who weren't mad Ba'athists?

SECOND SECTION: Be sure to read and understand the Service Bulletins at Dean's World. Coverage of both the toy drive and the Generals.
