Iraq is one large unexploded ordinance. literally. here's a story: "He was playing with four other children when his mother, Mona, heard the blast and rushed out to find the children, all under the age of 6, bleeding from head, hand and arm wounds. She said one of the children told her that Ali's 3-year-old cousin, Hassan Ali Hussein, had just picked up something shiny off the ground.
As she spoke, Ali, naked except for a diaper and partially covered with a flowered sheet, wailed through the heavy bandages that swathed most of his head. His mother made a gesture as if to pluck out her own eyes, which were swollen with weeping.
'I would take them and give them to my son,' she said in a grief-hoarsened voice. 'Take my eyes, take them! Who can watch their child like this, and live?'"
But figuratively, Iraq could still explode any minute. in conflicts between the different ethnic groups, in conflict between arabs and americans, in conflict with other countries around it, like Iran and Syria. this is the american legacy so far. is there anything we can do to help? especially those of us who demonstrated against the war, how do we now continue our support for the iraqi people, when our government has hurt them so badly?
