Reasons why Iraqis leave their houses

There are many reasons to make Iraqis leave there own houses.
just try to imagine leaving your own house suddenly.
Raffi's family left home because every corner reminds them about their loss ,and induce pain . they see Raffi in his room ,on his chair, every where causes grief for them. they left their memories and their own house behind them and rent another house.
Others may leave their house for the same reason or because of danger either direct threatening, or dangerous neighborhood.
Sometimes the terrorists captivate the house and it's owners, so in any chance, they leave to stay alive.
In the other hand the military forces may hide in citizens house’s to watch the surrounding areas or to make an ambush for someone hiding nearby.
Some may leave the country or their town to look for a job or to work safely without blackmail..
But the American government and president Bush talk about their big achievements in my country, where we find nothing but fear ,losses, pain, and threats. no safety , no electricity, no tap water in most of the cities , lack in all kind of services even health services , nothing but the worst schools and education , no jobs, no human rights.

1. Bush has bought a bottomless well of misery and Nancy Pelosi

co-signed the check.

2. How much more can these poor souls take? It tears my heart out just

to read about what they are going through.

We are the witnesses.

:hug::cry:

I cannot remember when I first heard of Kitty Genovese, but your comparison is perfect. How we scream...:hug:

As John Lennon once said, "We're all doing what we can.". I seriously am at the point where I really do not know what to do next. Our attempts at reason seem more futile each day. All that I can do just never seems enough.

Guess I'm just tired tonite. Too damn angry and stubborn to ever give up. :)

I would still rather know the truth any day of the week, then be one of the future blindsided majority.
