Close Encounter

It was half past twelve at night, and as hot as hell,
And then all of a sudden, off went the bell...

We were scared and bedazzled, who on earth they might be,
We went out, and looked out, and "Americans" we see...

***

Yes, the American army passed by, and they just asked a couple of questions... Something that could've certainly been done at an earlier time that 12:30 am, when nobody moves around except the military & what is known to be "death squads" who wear police commandos uniforms.

That is why it was very scary, and the sky high adrenalin made it difficult to sleep afterwards.

I don't really know till this moment, did they go and ask any other house, and if not then why us?!

One of the funniest things the American officer said was "if there is anything suspicious, you could just apporach the US forces, and tap at any of our vehicles and tell us about it"!!!!!

Excuse you, dude!!!!!
Isn't that how you shoot people!!! When they 'approach' your vehicles. My dad was carrying bread once, and walking some 50 meters (yds) away, and the dude over one vehicle kept shouting to him to 'go'...

Are you out of your mind??!!!

Anyway, they seemed quite 'polite' to say the least... They rang the bell and waited... No smokebombs, no assaults, no armed appearence right in your face... We weren't handcuffed or stepped on or anything... I guess they're learning the 'right' ways (except making stupid "go tap a humvee" suggestions!!!)
