Hey AtlantaBelle. I was army infantry during the Gulf War in 1991. I saw some of the aftermath of what the Iraqis did to the Kuwaitis, and heard of even worse things. Thank you for telling that story.

I wish I had video’d them. I was SO taken by surprise that I was just taking it all in! They were SO SO SO PRO American......the FUNNIEST part of the entire conversation was at the end:
They were both about 1 year from graduating. BOTH of them came from VERY pro USA families in exile. These two young ladies told me they had asked their families for a gift at graduation. They wanted to go to New York City and do 2 things: pay their respects and say thanks at Ground Zero and then go see CONAN O’Brien!! *LOLOLOL* I could NOT believe this comment UNTIL I got back to the hotel that evening and sure enough, IN ENGLISH was a Conan O’Brien show from the night before on SWEDISH TV!*LOL*
TOO BAD WE CANT EXPORT RED EYE! *LOL*
