Oprah Breaks New Angle On Iraq (Seriously)
I'm not generally fond of Oprah myself, not my style, but she does have a lot more substance to her than anything else in her timeslot. In today's piece, Women at 30 around the world, she managed to break a story out of Iraq that we haven't heard before. Iraqi has apparently been flooded with cheap Valium, and the women there are poping it like tic-tacs to dull the fear (kidnappings, random violence, rape) that a warzone breeds.
