A nut-house called IRAQ....

"I feel sorry for Americans, I really do. When they liberated Iraq they never expected to find a population as insane and dysfunctional as the Iraqi population is. They never factored in the psychological damage that 30 years living under Saddam Hussain has done to a population of over 25 million people.

One of the things I remember so vividly as a kid are the real horror movies of post Iran-Iraq battles that they used to show on daytime TV. It was a well known tradition for Iraq’s one and only national TV channel to show hours and hours of these post battle real life documentory-style movies. Imagine your worst Hollywood B-movie nightmare multiplied a thousand times, except it was all real. Dismembered Bodies, burned and unrecognizable. Gassed up Iranian soldiers half berried and rotting in the sand, the flies hovering over their unfortunate corpses. Young men no older than teenagers each one reminding you that it could be you, your brother, father, cousin, a friend..etc.etc.. all accompanied by this horrible army band music..... (I’m sorry but its all coming back to me now)…. Imagery so horrible to remember or comprehend"
Iraq Rising
In this respect Iraqis are not alone, just read the Babalu link down below.

It's one of my main reasons for following this war, hoping that someone will find a cure so that it can be applied in our situation.
