Nearly two dozen of those who took the oath are already in the U-S military. One Marine is from France. He says people there and in America should stop bashing each other and remember they have a long history of working together.
One Iraqi man wondered why it took the U-S so long to go after Saddam Hussein. Another new citizen, from Iran, said the government there is just as bad, and that both countries' rulers are a threat to "the whole world."
An Egyptian man said war is terrible, but if the U-S has to be at war in Iraq to keep this country safe, then so be it.
