You guys rock! BTW, please tell Nofel that one of the things I am most proud of is my generation's role in the liberation of his country. I've been on the liberation bandwagon ever since I saw the pictures of Hallabjah, but there's no need for thanks...the pictures of Iraqis with purple fingers were all the thanks I need!
When Nofel meets the men and women of the armed forces, he thanks them profusely and asks God's blessing for freeing his country. He is a sweet and gentle man.
As an aside his son became an American citizen this week. This was a matter of great pride that his son raised his hand.
