There was a time where all I had to do was sign a little sheet of paper and I would have been able to see the sights and sounds of Iraq myself. Well this kid from Florida just up and decided to go to Iraq on his own.

Seriously, the story is slightly stunning, slightly hilarious, and mainly downright retarded. I applaud his efforts and motivation, but damn kid, this is naivety taken to a whole new level. How can you expect to walk around Iraq without being able to speak a word of Arabic and survive? It seems like the only thing going for him was that he was rich, his dad had connections, and he looked as if he was a local. But Daddy’s friends can’t save you when you’re abducted from the street corner one evening.

But do you know the way I’m certain this kid is simply stupid and not naive? If he’d had any sense, he’d have started a blogger site and documented his journey. Imagine the publicity and traffic he could have gotten with that. Anyways, this is the last post of ‘05, but expect some new stuff come tomorrow.
