Role reversal

To the editor:

In the Monday, Aug. 29, issue of the Lawrence Journal-World, an article about an Iraqi Fullbright Scholar who is in Kansas to study and teach appeared next to a story about Kansas Guardsmen who are being sent to Iraq.

Mr. Murad, the Iraqi, stated he planned to visit other parts of the United States and learn to play sports. Many of the guardsmen pictured would probably trade places with him. He can go to Iraq and they can stay here to vacation and play sports.
