and the first moment that we saw it, "Oh! We have McDonald's here in
Iraq!" But this is not McDonald's. There are two girls, very beautiful

Americans at that time. But there are so many things
about America that we appreciated, we like,

statements like, "They hate our freedom
and our democracy," it's like, "No, we actually love it! "We freaking love it!
That's all we wanted." MUSIC: Everybody

one of the most liberal and cosmopolitan cities
in the Middle East
