This is Farveh

and with his back to us is Spencer, my nephew. My wife's sister's son. He married this intelligent beautiful woman, born in Iran. We went to their wedding in Phoenix, and I met many of her relatives, from the Iran/Iraq area of the world. Believe it or not, they are real people. Not just pawns for GW's economic war. For his economy, that is, not theirs. Their culture has been devastated. Over a million of the upper class, educated members of Iraq society have left the country, since George's invasion. Those who have the ways and means, that is. The ones with the education, therefor the money, are going, going, gone. The rest are stuck there, in the chaos his invasion created. But families are important to GW, too. His quote from Wisconsin, 10-18-2000, states, "Families is where our nation finds hope, where wings take dream." Then he stared, with that goofy grin on his face....
