Come together.Please allow me to blunt the edge of overt sensitivity coming from Central and South America South America, fourth largest continent (1991 est. pop. 299,150,000), c.6,880,000 sq mi (17,819,000 sq km), the southern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. . Your northern neighbors may be upset with the conception of others over the Iraqi venture; believe me it is short term. U.S. citizens do not hold old grudges, as is true in the Middle East.
