Can you spare a $ to send an Iraqi blogger to NY journalism school?
See PayPal button on the Healing Iraq blog -

Zeyad has a provisional place at the new graduate school of journalism at the City University of New York but, in order to be granted F-1 immigration status, needs sufficient funds for the tuition fees and living expenses.

You could help save the life of one Iraqi who has always been very fair about the Americans in his country.

2. Your needy will probably still be alive next week for you to help them -
Zeyad and thousands like him do not have that security.

3. "Probably" is no guarantee to life here in the U.S. either.

Zeyad must go back to Iraq and fight for his country.

4. So, in which US city are 90 people a day being blown up?
I think that you must be a Republican. Your saying that Zeyad must fight for his country - that's disgusting - this would be the country that YOUR country invaded illegally and has occupied ever since, killing civilians randomly, stealing reconstruction dollars. Zeyad DID have a useful role, as a dentist, but thanks to the US he can't do that any more.
