The story of the real church doesn't quite end there.

But like so much in Iraq, the story does not end there.

I like to think the story doesn't really end there, though.

And no one yet knows how the story will end.

We know from the beginning how the story will end.

You never know how your story will start or end.

After all, they said, no one knew how the story would end.

For most players, this is where the story would end.

Yet for that very reason everybody knows right from the start how the story will end.
