A pull your dick kind of guy. Strange.

You know, it's really great to run with the cool kids and find the worst and most disgusting stories about one another's country.

alanocu, I think there is some confusion on your end. This is a story about a real university called American University and its campus in Iraq, called American University of Iraq.

"American" in my title is not a gratuitous adjective; it is not an adjective at all. It is part of the proper name of the university this story is about.

I don't get it either.

I could post a story about the Simon Fraser University (SFU) student Rachel Marsden and SFU

I'd never heard of this but with all this information, Google took 5 secs. to find which country. Why all the info except for anyone to Google?

What's the hangup about the country? Where does this xenophobia come from? We in Ireland had more than our share of religious sex scandals in the recent past. Sweeping this under the carpet only suits the deviants.
