I met with a guy this morning, who was so young before

He's a consultant in inter-net  communications, and you may ask why I waited so long to meeet him. But he was growing up, and now has mastered things I need to know. Only in his 20s, he's old enough to renovate my relationship with the world.
  In 2003 The New York Times published this portrait of our welcome in Iraq. We've lived with this grimace all this time, a keepsake of the most negligent war ever mounted by an ostensibly great nation, and now its lines are set. It's old enough to renovate our relationship with the world.
