Between Iraq and a Hard Place. Before I moved to study Arabic in Jordan, friends said I should "wait until the Middle East calms down." They were even more emphatic after Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990. Instead, we moved to Kurdistan, where people live "between Iraq and a hard place." This is the history of remarkable missionaries who came before us.
