Army. A year ago, when an American soldier fell in love in Baghdad, his commander ordered him not to marry. Well, Sgt Sean Blackwell launched a secret mission to marry the Iraqi woman he loved. She's filled with hope for a new future, even as she waves goodbye  to everything she has ever known. Ehdaa is making a run of 500 kilometres through the dangers of the Sunni Triangle, trying to reach her new American husband, the one that the Army ordered out of her life. 'Sometimes, you just fall in love and you don't know why. I think  it's our fate,' says Ehdaa. 'I think we're meant to be together. I just can't wait to see him.' After the fall of Baghdad, Blackwell landed in one of  those places where the tension was greatest, Baghdad's biggest hospital. One day, amid the chaos, in walked Ehdaa, a young Iraqi doctor. 'To be honest, when I first met her, I was like, you know, she's very, very attractive, but you know, what's the point of trying to start a  relationship over here?' 'I started thinking, what we are doing is impossible. I'm Muslim and he's a Christian. I'm Iraqi and he's American. It just can't happen,' says Ehdaa. 'It did. Love can produce miracles. I do believe this now.' Blackwell asked Ehdaa's brother, who told him, 'I'd be honoured for you to marry my sister.' But under local law, a Muslim woman can marry only a Muslim man. 'There's only one God and that's God and Mohamed is the messenger of God.' Through those words, Blackwell became a Muslim.  But six months after his wedding, Blackwell said goodbye to his mother and headed back towards the war zone he had recently left.  'She looks just as beautiful as the first time I saw her. I feel so comfortable. It's like I haven't been away from her for six months,' says Blackwell.  In a sense, the Blackwells are exactly what the Pentagon had dreamed of at the start of the war - American soldiers embraced by Iraq. It seems ironic that when the military got what it wanted, at least on a small scale, it manoeuvred to divide, only to be outflanked by a soldier who would not disobey the orders of his heart.
