Comforting Feeling

While I was waiting for everyone else to finish calling/blogging the other night at the internet cafe in Nuremburg, I started chating with the man that ran the internet cafe. I found out that he was actually from Iraq and had been living in Germany for 26 years. He said that he didn't really like Germany or the German people beause no matter how long you may live here you will never be considerered a German unless you were actully born here. He liked that in America no matter what color you skin or hair or eyes you would eventually be called an American. He was also very grateful to the U.S. for removing Hussein from power. He said that the rest of Europe and the other countries around Iraq just sat there and thought and discussed what should be down, but it was the U.S., the country farthest away that finally did something about it. Its comforting to know that there really are Iraqis that are pleased that Hussein is gone. When I watch the news Iraq is still in such chaos and very rarely do we get to here the stories about people who are happy with the U.S. It was an overrall wonderful experience talking with this man.
