BAGHDAD, Iraq -- In the few months since the fall of Baghdad, two U.S. soldiers and two Iraqi women courted, fell in love and decided to marry.

They won each others' hearts and minds, but battled against disapproving senior American officers and fears of retribution by militant Iraqis.

.......

The grooms marched up in their uniforms, wearing bulletproof vests and with M-16 rifles in hand. Finally, a nervous Iraqi judge arrived to conduct the ceremony.

The men and women first met after the Iraqi women, both English-speaking doctors, took jobs with the Americans.

......

Bwahahaha! Those women have got "balls".

They can't be given an order to not marry, but they can be advised against it.
