Very much alive and well in Iraq
Some Iraqi women think the American guys are cute, said Aisha Emad, 22. But she and her friends avoid soldiers, fearing others will say they are trying to sleep with the enemy.
“We may say things between each other, but we never tell the soldiers,” Emad said, as her smiling brown eyes darted between a group of Iraqi men watching nearby and the soldiers standing beside her. “They are invaders.”
Iraqi men use the rudest terms to say that female students want sex with Americans, said Ali Fareed, 24. Many of his friends are angry and jealous of soldiers on campus, Fareed added...
While Iraqi women are not allowed to flirt with the Americans, the Iraqi men on campus had no trouble calling out to Spc. Erin Romero, 21, of Lake Tahoe, Calif.
Romero, a fair-skinned, blond-haired woman, ignored the comments.
“They say, ‘You’re beautiful, an angel,’ ” Romero said. “It’s just they are not used to women with blonder hair, bluer eyes and lighter skin.”
