HIStory in the Making.


For the Love of the Game.

Words.

"A tip of the hat to comedian Stephen Colbert for his four-day tour in Baghdad to entertain U.S. troops and draw attention to the forgotten war, all the while trying to bridge the culture war at home.

...Colbert was funny, swinging a golf club in tribute to Hope and sporting a desert camouflage business suit.

...Colbert succeeded in bringing together Comedy Central's largely liberal audience, the military, media and conservative politicians to focus attention on the 130,000-plus American troops still fighting a war we started. For that, and for the smart, generous humor they displayed in the Iraq shows, both the comedian and his character can declare victory."
