ihmmm..i have a sugestio for both you and fengzi. how about the u.s. opens its borders wide open for the iraqi citizens. The laws will be established according to muslim culture, right? so of course if that is what the iraqis truly want, they should be able to choose between the judeo-christian idealism and muslim one. If this new-found freedom is so great, then it should be no problem and iraqis will shrug off the chance to go to america, since america made their lives so perfect.


God, i wish someone would ask bush that without him seeing it coming.
