I agree. I'm just saying, some people here think these people will love us the way the Taiwanese do.

Is the guy flashing the photographer a victory sign, or the british equivalent of the bird? I'm wondering as I peer into his facial expression.

A child's questions: While watching coverage of Iraqi's here in the states voting for a permanent Iraqi government, one of my children asked, "Does this mean that these people will be leaving America and returning to Iraq? I mean, why vote for a govt. in a country that you aren't going to live in?"
They were good questions, and neither the hubby nor I had good answers.
Does anyone on this thread have the answers?
Thanks.

I think they are citizens of Iraqi heritage, which may mean they are going to school-- getting an MBA or other graduate work in the USA before returning home. (just a guess)

I sincerely doubt that the "go to hell" lady, who could not have been a day younger than 70 years of age, was a student here.
Hmmmmm.
