One afternoon, I had tea with a storekeeper at the Al Rasheed Hotel in Baghdad, and he said to me, "You Americans, you can put a man on the moon, but when I get home tonight, I won't be able to turn on my lights." At the time, the U.S. government had spent more than two billion dollars on electricity reconstruction.
Una tarde, tomaba té con un almacenista del Hotel Al Rasheed en Bagdad, y él me dijo, "Uds. los americanos, pueden poner a un hombre en la Luna, pero cuando yo llegue a casa esta noche, no podré encender las luces".
