Foreign Enrollment Declines at Universities

Ant:
Not sure how interesting peeps will find this, but this is a pretty big issue that will continue to affect our economy.  This article doesn't blame Bush for this problem, and certainly a few things are affecting this phenomonon, but talking to some international people I know, a lot of foreigners just aren't looking at the US as the land of opportunity anymore.  And over the past few years we are slowly being branded as being a dumb nation.  We've benefits for decades from the inflow of foreign intellectual capital, now the inflow is drying up, and at the same time some of our intellectual capital is going overseas due to growing frustration with the Bush Administration.  I mentioned before 5,000 US scientists signed a report that documented the Bush Admin's abuse of science.  But anyways, make this what you will.  To me its an issue, to you it might be nothing.

I wonder why...

Ant:
why would you waste a post pointing out typos.  And the second one wasn't even a typo.  You're still asian if you live in America.  In Cali there are a lot of American Asians, i.e. asian people who have U.S. citizenship.
