From Michael J. Totten in bold, but with context in the hope Playin' Possum (and other opponents of the Iraq liberation) will think about this long and hard before commenting:

“The soccer field you’re building,” said our host to the lieutenant, “is great for the kids, but it also helps with security. Insurgents were using that area as a base. Thank you, thank you.” He put his hand on his heart.

“Listen,” said another Iraqi, who wore a long black beard as well as a dishdasha. “I have something to tell you, but it has to be away from the children.” He said this in English so the children would not understand. A young man led them outside and suggested they play with their new toys on the lawn.
