[Vision2020] Iraqi Citizen At WSU Speaks

[Pat Kraut]

Well that's one mans opinion! What opinion does he have about Saddam and all the people he killed with no hope of justice?? Was he even there then...or was he safe and sound here in the US? Does he plan on going back one day or staying here? Sounds to me like he has been here too long getting a liberal education at a liberal college!

  All:

  These comments concerning the war in Iraq from a front page article in the Monday, January 31, Lewiston Morning Tribune, from Vian Yousify, a 21 year old Iraqi citizen studying neuroscience and psychology at WSU, are worth repeating on V2020:

  "Regardless of any intentions the U.S. had while it invaded Iraq, be it for their good or the Iraqis, the reminder of the destroyed, once beautiful city, Baghdad, and many other places,  the looted museums, or the unbearable number of innocent lives that have been taken away were never worth it."

  And about the just held election in Iraq:

  "In a way, it is false hopes given to desperate people for various powers to be involved in a future they have no rights over, including the presence of the American forces. ..."

  "I hope it is a step toward improvement of the system that will be able to diminish the current terror."

  "I do not think that Iraq is ready for representative government.  There has not been any effective strategy set for Iraq to follow upon after Saddam's regime was removed."
