Finance Minister Omar Abdel Razek spent eight years in Iowa, first at Coe College in Cedar Rapids, where he graduated magna cum laude, and then at Iowa State University. Despite his continued opposition to the Bush administration’s policies, Razek has fond memories of Iowa and of his Jewish first-year roommate. “They were the best four years in my life, actually,” he said.
