...Enough Is Enough I agree with Michelle Obama: Let's stop asking whether her husband, Sen. Barack Obama, is "black enough" to be President [Aug. 27]. I don't know why in the 21st century many of us are still fixated on race - or gender, for the matter. Let's concentrate on the real issues, such as Iraq, affordable health care, balancing the budget and fixing Social Security.

These strained times coincided with my family's long-planned departure from Iran. My husband was starting graduate school in Europe, so we joined the tens of thousands of educated Iranians who make up the country's enormous annual brain drain.
