1. some recent pictures of the same areas would be interesting.

[leftchick]

3. they are in the slide show

[Buzz Clik]

6. Yeah, I think that photo was taken during the bombing.

I mean 2008 photos.

We all recognize that we devastated Iraq, and they'll probably never forgive us. However, we've been told time and again that things are getting better. I'd simply like to see what it looks like today.

11. these are not 2008

but here is a whole page of US destruction.

12. This is stupid....

I did view the slide show. Honestly, it just makes the creator look silly. Gosh, it must have been impossible to find a sad family before 2003 and now its impossible to find a happy one. Christ, how stupid do these people take us for.

If you are going to do something like this then don't insult the intelligence of the people viewing it.

[leftchick]

14. okay

Mr. Intelligence. :eyes:

Fallujah after the USA 'Liberated it' with white phosphorus, 2000 lb bombs and cluster bombs for the gift that keeps on giving.

I could attempt to explain why, but it would be like trying to teach astrophysics to a walrus.

13. Thanks for posting

Many Americans still believe that Iraq was a third world nation with nothing and we are just helping them out. Anyone with half a brain can see that they were doing just fine without US!!


Why WHY is Obama keeping Gates on??!! :grr: :nuke:

15. Thank you!

we seem to be in the minority here.

New hope or....

People in my country wonder about the consequences of the new American president ,Obama ,on their future !!!Some believe that could bring hope, and could put an end to the American occupation. Others believe the withdrawal of the ENEMY'S army could make things worse, and Americans have to correct their huge mistakes before leaving. other Iraqis believe the new president ,will not change the Americans strategy in Iraq or in anywhere else , he will complete the policy but maybe in different way , without dramatic changes But everyone believe that Israel ,the main American's allay will not allow any alteration that may concern israel's stance.

Hard

''Hard to understand" and" hard to imagine your feelings" are common words come as comments from some dear readers, but have great effect to show me how they do care and understand. May Allah respond to your and our prayers for peace.
Lately Iraqi Christian citizens were threatened and forced to leave their homes and hide in some villages out side Mosul and in Kurdistan. That made me so much angry and afraid from the coming consequences. wondering who will be the next terror's victim?! what is happening to the children and all innocents in my country under day light?! and what will be the reaction of the Iraqis toward relegating their Christian friends ,neighbors ,and workmates? How do those citizens feel toward other Iraqis now? why their children can't go to school? Of course ,I did not expect any response from our numb government. And I felt useless .
In my work we have a dentist that had to leave her house so quickly after she got serious threatening , she even didn't have time to take her important belongings , and left to outside Mosul to rent a small apartment. at work every one donated some money ,and we bought some food stuff ,blankets , electric heater and some other impotent things. And two mates visited her and gave her those provisions. they said she hugged them , and cried for so long. she had only some rugs , that the red cross organization brought them.. her daughter is attending the village school temporally
After a month of suffering most of those refugees returned to their work because the government refused to give them furloughing , what a clever and responsible way to help them!!!.
My eldest daughter saw the hailing of her teacher ,by the other teachers and students, she described all the hugs and tears that she saw. She said that every one was so much thrilled to see her back. she also talked about a woman came and greeted this teacher and told her that half of her house was destroyed when terrorists blasted her Christian neighbor's house.
