To Najila

I'm an American woman who just finished reading your ... post and I am thoroughly disgusted. Not only at your absolute lack of morality and human dignity but also at your lack of forethought.... you really think ...you are...better than the American woman's whose husband you stole? Its all the same, the only difference is level of docility, which I assure you that is what your "man" is after. Many American men pursue foreign brides in hopes that they will have a traditional house wife because American women refuse to cook, clean, work, bear children and go to school simultaneously. When he sees you expect to lay up on your Morrocan butt all day doing nothing, he will kick you as well.

I assure you Najila, as an American, there is not wealth here as you assume. 87% of America's wealth is owned by 2% of its population. So unless your man is a CEO of some corporation you will NOT be getting the big house and fancy car of your naive dreams. At best you are looking at a medical class existence (unless his wife sues his pants off for spousal support). Which basically entails a roof above your head, a car that works and enough to eat, with the occasional new pair of shoes or yearly vacation.

There is no arabian horse stable or bars of gold waiting for you. That pipe dream of the streets of America being lined with silver is a LIE, it always has been. You have to work your ass off here just like you do in every other country. And it can be WORSE! Because unlike many industrialized nations, USA does NOT offer free health care or education. We are only 16th on the standard of living list! Perhaps you should do a little more a research on your prey ...
