There's a shvah punctuation under the first Hebrew letter yud. So the most accurate spelling in English would be Y'hoshua. However, it is acceptable to lengthen the "Y" pronounciation at the start of the word but that would produce a Yeh sound, not a Yah sound, which would only be possible if there was a patach or kamatz punctuation under the letter yud, which there isn't. So now you know.

I do realize that most of my post is near-future speculation, but would you mind pointing out any inconsistincies (sp?) I may have written Avon Lady?
Correct spelling: inconsistancies.

I didn't say you were inconsistant. I just disagree with some of your points.

As a quick example, while it would be nice to have a pro-US leader there (and everywhere), this is not reality. Expect such a leader to eventually get his head chopped off because the general Iraqi attitude is "thank you, now get out", which is not such a bad idea.

btw, what unit do you serve in?
Kitchen Patrol.
