Did it ever occur to you that even Iraqi's can LEARN how to read, speak, and write English ? If not in school, then the internet might have been helpful, or perhaps she studied abroad, who knows. Calm before the storm is an expression that's used in a lot of different countries. Translated into English it becomes exactly what it says in that blog. If that's an American cliche, then my name is J. Edgar Hoover.
