Do you have plans to go back now that Saddam has lost power?
Ithaar Derweesh, "I consider myself an American. I look and see how instrumental the Jewish diaspora has been in aiding the state of Israel—there’s also a very large and educated Iraqi diaspora in the United States and Britain and elsewhere. Saddam chased out 5 million of us. I can see myself going back for short periods of time, or being able to facilitate training of Iraqi physicians here or organizing seminars or fellowships, or sending American physicians over there. People like my father and mother will probably stay here also. Both still being academicians and involved in science, they may go back and help restructure for a few months. But we’re going to be here."
