As American troops have started their wind down of the occupation of Iraq, we see that there is still a lot of work to be done in the area of security. Recent bombings of important government buildings prove that the Iraqi security forces still have a long way to go before they are ready to take over the countries security duties. The problem is persistent and worrisome.

The bombings have shaken the confidence of the Iraqi public and forced changes in the current security system. The Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has promised to strengthen security measures and has tried to placate the outraged public. We will watch and see what the outcome to this tough problem will be.

I spend a lot of time on the internet. I like to start anywhere and click on links to see where I end up. Many times I will run into something interesting along the way. While doing this, I found a site that was really neat and I want to share it with you. It’s called eccomailbox.com and they have ecco mailboxes for sale. I am seriously thinking about purchasing one.

The mailbox that really caught my eye was one called the ecco e8 mailbox. It’s in the Victorian style and is supposed to sit on a pedestal. It’s almost four feet tall and has two doors and a protected mail slot. I really like this box as it reminds me of an old English phone booth. I think it’s really cool!

I showed the box to my wife and she likes it as well. The kids said it was awesome and so I decided to purchase it. We are now the proud owners of an ecco mailbox and it looks great. The neighbors are all wishing they had thought to get one first. Even the mailman said it was the best-looking box on his route. I hope you will visit the site and check it out for yourself, I think you’ll like it as well.
