Ever wonder what stories the children of Iraq will hear about their country, about their past and about what lead to their current state (whatever that may be) when the US finally pulls out in 2072?

I actually do and often. In our nation’s quest to bring democracy to the Middle East/make America safer, we have, as it stands today, given those kids a very grim future.

And while I still believe this to be true, and the Iraqi bloggers only reaffirm what I fear is going to be a nation defined by unemployment, sectarian violence, government corruption and lots of lame “milestones”—at least for the time being, I did find an article in The Christian Science Monitor (great resource—I love it in case you haven’t noticed), which left me wondering, can the birth of baby reshape a family’s story—today and tomorrow?
