Good luck getting the necessary money - sorry can't pledge anything, except for moral support. I was in his shoes 5 years ago when coming to U.S. from Russia.

I am happy to see he is going to get a break from all the violence. Congratulations to Zeyad–although I agree with the poster above who says he is already an accomplished journalist.

Zeyad had already take a turn for the anti-American long ago, so after spending time with the Che and Arafat-loving terrorists at CUNY, I'd be quite surprised if Zeyad does NOT come out of the experience ready to join al Qaeda. Congrats to Zeyad, but I hope he rethinks his choice. There has to be some way he could get a job somewhere instead. Someone get Fox News on the line.

He's already far more accomplished as a journalist than most of the professional ones here. This just seems like a waste of his time. I'm thrilled he's coming to the US, especially NYC, but he should be getting paid to be here, not paying to "study" something he's already helped to reinvent. My near-total lack of faith in higher education, coupled with a disdain for most contemporary journalism probably isn't helping my understanding. His tip-jar isn't up yet. There should be a push to get Yale alums to contribute their Taliban-witheld donations to Zeyad instead. I don’t understand this.

He has a wonderful family and is a great embassador for Iraqis. I am very happy for Zeyad and I hope to have the honor to meet him in person one day.

Seems to be the best alternative. Plus there are no repercussions. And he could get all the bennies then. And then Cardinal Mahoney and the Catholic church can take care of him. Until they lose their tax exempt status, or bugger more little boys. Perhaps he can come in through Mexico. Seems to be the best alternative. Plus there are no repercussions.
