A feel-good story about a scout-troop helping our Jewish soldiers in the field (about 1% of the force, BTW) celebrate the holiday: CNN.com - Scouts share Hanukkah with Jewish soldiers in Iraq.

Ironic, isn't it? A couple thousand years ago the Assyrians were our enemies, now they're our friends. Sorta shows the futility of all that fighting, doesn't it? All we have to do is wait 'em out and it'll all work out in the end...in a few thousand years.
