"Her tears were falling like rain on her cheeks, her voice was shaking the moment she recalled her days in Baghdad, and her Iraqi look was as sad as the look of every eyes of any Iraqi inside and outside the country.

Narrating how she was chased and tortured by the former regime’s dictatorship, she made me nailed to the feet in front of her heart-breaking image exposed on a wide hp computer monitor. With the sound of the lute playing through the computer speakers, I felt her tears were dancing sadly with the rhythm."
