This won’t be an exhaustive list. I’ll hold myself to the top five Advantages to Living in America’s Third World Countyâ„¢

5. Beautiful landscapes. I’m not talking about scenic drivebys, although we have those in abundance, still. No, the beautiful landscapes I’m talking about are all around us. I can walk out on my back deck and see across the creek from our property land that seems as untouched as when this area was first settled in the 1820s. And I live “in town” (by about 150 feet).

As some of you know I recently named 24 Steps to Liberty and Treasure of Baghdad as the Blogs of the Month for March over at The Real Ugly American. These brave men are both journalists and patriots who love their country. They  risk their lives every day to tell the world  what is really going on in Iraq.  I found the information on their blogs to be very different from what I was hearing in the MSM.   So I decided to ask them both a few questions.  They have both replied.  Here are the questions and their respective answers:
