I was surprised to see this, and it's already over a week old. As a former volunteer in Morocco, I'm pretty disappointed by this news. During the first Gulf War, this same thing happened, and I remember hearing that it took a while for the program to get back on its feet...some bad feelings over it. http://www.peacecorps.gov/news/news/view.cfm?news_id=772 "WASHINGTON, D.C., April 3, 2003 -- Peace Corps Director Gaddi H. Vasquez today announced the temporary suspension of the Peace Corps program in Morocco. Peace Corps volunteers in Morocco were consolidated on March 20 to allow Peace Corps staff in country and at headquarters in Washington, D.C. to evaluate the political and public climate in Morocco as a result of the events in Iraq. Peace Corps also offered volunteers the option of Interrupted Service for those who preferred not to continue their service. “After a thorough assessment of safety and security issues it was determined that it would be in the best interest of the Peace Corps volunteers to temporarily suspend the program in Morocco. Moreover, the uncertainty of a date or time for the volunteers to return to their job sites has proven to be a disruption to the continuity of their work,” stated Director Vasquez."
