The Iraquiad Explanation: Look Parrot,, you already got it, You don't need us, especially when you do nto have any more context. If you try to come up with something else, you might stray from the original too much. An article with a title like that could be about a lot of things related to Iraq. I suspect it is an article criticizing Bush's policies. That would be my first guess, but that is all there is, a guess. I do not know what the article is about and neither do you, and I see nothing wrong with Iraqiad. It is a perfect translation as far as I see. Go for it! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-01-10 20:47:01 (GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Gracias, a veces dirigimos la mirada al cielo en espera del manà y no vemos que està justo al alcance de nuestras manos...o algo màs o menos asì |
