Iraq Views Part 2

By Dan Gorenstein on Wednesday, December 7, 2005.

This week, New Hampshire Public Radio presents the views of people who have spent a significant length of time in Iraq.

Yesterday we heard from a National Guardsman who served there and believes the U-S presence is helping.

He experienced Iraq as a truck driver in military convoys.

NHPR's Dan Gorenstein produced this report.
