11 years ago a Moron gave a speech while i was a 13 year old watching the destruction of a beloved country & a homeland to many friends of mine watching war on live tv was so scary & traumatizing i still remember that day & i wish i could forget it once & for all........
a couple of years later i saw the tears on my friends face while she was visiting us she was sitting in our living room's & whi...le we were talking about school there came the horrifying news from her homeland i looked at her face & there i saw her tears that are still burning me till today.
i still remember the words of her brother when he told us how their grandmother freaks out whenever she hears a noise outside her house & screams out of fear "Americans, Americans" .

That lunatic Bush made many many people around the wolrd hate the US, cause of his mistakes, many many US soldiers got killed without even knowing what on EARTH were they fighing for, many of them got injured & disfigured..........

 People on both sides of the tragedy have suffered a lot, i feel for those poor soliers that after leaving their homes back there in the US with their loved ones praying for their safety & treating them like heros and by time they end up killingIraqi civilians and they come to realize that they were lied to by their government & they are fighting for an unjust cause & many of them were brave enough to admit " i killed innocent people", or " we are the aggressors" i feel even much more for those who killed people & are still saying till today that they helped them & libearted them i feel for those who are still living in denial really believing that the invasion of Iraq was a good decision i was just a 13 year old & i was 100% sure it was wrong & i can't stomach how aduls actually got tricked that way & 11 years later they are still choosing to remain ignorant & they are still till this moment being decieved & lied to................. 

This war was NOT inevitable!

 I don't need to mention the list of atrocities that took place in Iraq during the invasion. i do not need to describe the brutality cause i'm sure people already know about it & now they know what happened in that country in the name of democracy. But the only thing that deserves to be mentioned in my humble opinion is this :there are many people who after all of those years still till today justify what happened in Iraq just like they justify the Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in World War II in August 1945. Those people need much help they need to know their history they need to know what on earth happens in other countries cause of their indifference & lack of information. if they knew they would help to stop any further damage in other countries they will say " Never Again' to war & bloodshed'

As for my Iraqi friends they started new lives in other countries & still hold the beautiful memories of their lovely homeland in their hearts. They are so peaceful & tolerant & don't hold any grudges.
To them, Al Qaeda lunatics are doing the same as the Iraq invasion did both of them destroyed their country & ruined their lives.
