Dina thank you for pointing out to me that Iraq has been a country for
over 6000 years. It is not in a civil war. It is in turmoil and
temporarily a failed state because of the actions of President George
W. Bush and his followers. This meddling has caused over 3,900 American
deaths. It has lead to thousands of young American men and women
suffering awful wounds and life long disabilities. It has caused the
very best and brightest in Iraq to flee to other countries. It has
literally broke the US Treasury and left our grand children with an
awful financial burden.
Dina, my wife's ancestors come from
Northern Italy. She points out to me that her ancestors were civilized
when my ancestors from Germany were still barbarians. Our Chinese
friends tell us that they were civilized when all of we Europeans were
still barbarians.
Dina when the rest of the world was a group of
barbarians (Including Europeans, Jews, Chinese, Indians, etc.), you
Iraqis had great cities like Babylon and wonderful innovations like
Hamurapi's Code (The first written laws.) All of us are indebted to
Iraqis for the wonder contributions they have made to civilization
throughout the world.
I sincerely apologize to you and all other Iraqi readers if I gave an incorrect impression of your country.
Life takes us in many strange directions and wonderful discoveries. It never turns out the way we thought it would.
