  It's a big country, but still, how can anything be left of Iraq? When you
look at the news on TV, all you see is one explosion after another. Helicopters
falling from the sky, and vehicles flying into the sky. Suicide bombers
committing homicide, and two deeply religious sects going at each other's
throats.
          Iraqis are leaving the country as fast as they can, while terrorists are
entering as fast as they can. About 30,000 Iraqi civilians are getting killed
each year, while 2 million Iraqis have left their country since 2003. The US
government, which has caused most of this suffering, has not welcomed these
Iraqi refugees into the USA. Less than 800 Iraqis have been allowed to enter
this country since the war began four years ago. What is the reason for this
small number? The Iraqi people are our friends.
          The US government tried to rescue Iraqis from Saddam Hussein and bring them
democracy. Now there is no Saddam, but also there is no democracy. In the
future, there might even be no Iraq. Many people worldwide, and many Iraqis,
think that Iraq was better off before Bush and Cheney decided to "help."
