That'll Be in U.S. Dollars, Please

   Hiba Kassim is an Iraqi girl who sustained wounds to her ankle and leg, during the Iraqi war. Her brother was killed by the same bomb that wounded her. She was brought to Belgium by the aid organization, Medicine for the Third World. She has undergone five operations, and rehabilitation to save the leg.The treatment has been successful, but costly. Belgian doctors were able to send her home yesterday, but they were not able to bill her family. Instead, they sent the bill for $66,650.00 U.S. to the U.S. embassy. Now there's creative problem solving!
   So far, there has been no response from the embassy.
