The Iraqi people do not like us too much sometimes. See greedy American men and American women bitches. But you know what? When you & # 39; m in a bad mood, sometimes I see the world that way. Many Western generalize as the enemy of the Iraqi people. It & # 39; and what do you do if you & # 39; dragged into the war. But you have to remember that in the end, you & # 39; all just people … we all go to sleep, and we all get up in the morning. And all of it, when we wake up, the first thing your body does not crave democracy, religious solidarity or blood … it & # 39; breakfast and one meal … … one important way that you may find that this & # 39; and a better understanding of cultures and perhaps even respect them before you blindly consider them strange or immoral, and are denied. May morning we bring the nations closer together, as a family. Amen (closing same Christian and Muslim prayers, although Iraq is often spelled "Aameen" and spoke gargle after rolling sound of the first syllable).
