THIS IS A GREAT story about one Iraqi who has lived in Iraq and the US. Guess which he prefers...

In early April, when Anas Al-Dulaimi waded through crowds outside the Palestine Hotel, he bumped into Spc. Charles Gilbreath standing guard.

The 28-year-old Al-Dulaimi, who spent his childhood in Knoxville, Tenn., was glad to see U.S. soldiers, whom he calls “fellow Americans.”

“I knew if I got into the right hands, they would do me no harm,” Al-Dulaimi said. “My heart beats American.”
