56,000 Iraqi college graduates face a grim reality. They have lost more than 200 professors and most can’t wait to get out of Iraq, which they consider a death sentance.

They started college just before or after the American invasion with dreams of new friends and parties, brilliant teachers and advanced degrees that would lead to stellar jobs, marriage and children. Success seemed well within their grasp. Four years later, Iraq’s college graduates are ending their studies shattered and eager to leave the country.

Why don’t we invite some to Boston? Surely we can certainly absorb a few hundred and put them to work around New England our healthcare, biotech and technology industries.
