Hi Majid

Your story is amazing. I'm so glad you are sharing it with us. I've never communicated with an Iraqi before ... rather an American of Iraqi descent. My own family history is that my grandparents came to this land to escape Kaiser Wilhelm's idea of how to make a better world : subjugate and dominate your "neighbors " with military force. But first, conscript the young men to be warriors. My ancestry wanted no part of that, so they came to America. Two generations later, Americans get conscripted to fight the Germans. Of course, this was a "just " war , because Hitler was a madman. (And from what I've read , I agree that Hitler needed to be stopped. )
One of my reasons for supporting Obama is that he seems to me to be more likely to pursue a more thoughtful negotiation process for resolving international disputes.
Majid, I admire your passion for politics. And I admire your ability to survive circumstances of extrodinary difficulty. I can hardly imagine living in a tent in the desert for five years!
Goodluck on your journey.
