A friend of mine (Mike) has an Iraqi neighbor.
The neighbor is a Sunni,his wife is Shia. They left Iraq ten years ago. He told Mike,his brother is well off, an engineer,living in Baghdad. Mike has seen pictures of their house,it is huge and beautiful. The brother has been beaten,his car and home vandalized. He is too
terrified to go to work,so the brother over here has sent him $10,000 for them to live on.

2. Whoops!? He sent $10,000 to Iraq?
Doesn't that mean he is supporting terrorists?

I wonder how often he's been 'interviewed' by the FBI.
