Eye From Iraq,
Which past are you speaking of? The Saddam one or your countries ancient history? If it is the Saddam one you speak of, it tells me you were one of “his chosen people”, in that case, I don’t care.
If it is your countries ancient history, then that will never be lost. It is carried in each of you and can never be truly lost.
The present? Yes, the present is extremely difficult. I won’t deny that. You need to absorb the present and never forget it. Because, the future belongs to you and all of your fellow citizens. Prepare and become involved in your future, with the present in mind. Create your countries future in a manner that will prevent the Saddam history and this painful present, from ever happening again.
Iraq is not the first, only or last who have had to go through this. There are many examples (including the US) of countries who have gone through war and become stronger and better coun tries because of it.
Don’t let the lives lost be in vain. Eye From Iraq, hating the war will not do your country or your people any good. Make good come out of it. Help your country become strong, you deserve it.
