I know, I know... This isn't the right place to talk about politics
here. But since Ted has posted his view, I just would like to comment.
:)

Ted is right that USA is a land of freedom and a nation of immigrants.
There are many opportunities there if one is willing to leave his home
and come to USA! I think everyone in this world appreciate this
situation but disagree on USA political base.

I have many many friends in USA, and that includes Americans, Jamaicans,
Germans, Malaysians!, Chinese and Vietnamese and even CLA. I like
America but I personally disagree her politically. (I am not a
politician, ok? This is just my personal point of view :)

I had got a consulting job (doing Ada) in USA couple years back but I
did not take up the offer simply because it took too much hassle to get
a working visa. But that did not stop me doing Ada. With my free spirit
roaming and the current trend of globalization and with the Internet,
the world is equivalent, I think.
