I dont know much about other countries, but im learning about iraq since im out here and interact with the people, the police, and the iraqi army. The people out here are scared to live in their country. I know your friend isnt scared to live where he is, but he just needs a lil reality check sorda say. Show/educate him on how other countries have it going right now and let him know he should be proud of where and what he is. An American.
