I spoke with an Iraqi expat

[thatoneguy]

I spoke with a fellow that has been in the states for four months, and of all places, he was working at 7-11. I tried my best to sift through his broken english, but i brought up the dinar, and he went on a tangent about how much outside action is going on as far as foreign companies coming to Iraq in droves. He seemed excited about the topic of progress, and stated something to the effect that the currency will increase in value. I understand that this isn't anything solid, hence the rumors section. But this info is just as compelling as an okie, or terryk type stuff. Just wanted to share. Its progress, and that is what we want,(aside for the RV to happen ASAP), and as long as there is progress in Iraq, at the end of the day its nothing but positive for us.

Sounds to me he has hope for his country, I do as well. I hope he's right!

Actually Tim as I understand it the Enquirer was the most accurate of all of the news papers in the reporting of the OJ Simpson murder trial so it may not be a bad place to look
