Kitchen Diplomacy (Senain Kheshgi)

An Iraqi-American restaurateur from San Diego describes the contradictions of his identity in his adopted country, and why he supports Republican ticket. "Cars pull up and Muslim men and women rush into the Ali Baba Cafe just in time for evening prayer. It is the hilly month of Ramadan and the Iraqi-Americans from the area are rushing into their businesses to come together to break their fasts, say their prayers and sit down for a communal meal with their families. We hear how these Iraqi immigrants came to live in this small town on the outskirts of San Diego, making it the second Iraqi community in the United States. How do the Iraqi-Americans feel about the past eight years in the US? What gives them hope for the future?"
