Best Feeling Ever!

"The best feeling anyone could ever experience, I believe, is when you feel productive and are doing something that others can benefit from.

A few days ago, I wrote about the little help the Iraqis are getting from other countries in the world. In October, the UN said that “over 1,000 Iraqis are fleeing their homes each day.” Today, the UN said that about 1.8 million Iraqis were displaced within Iraq since the leveling of a revered Shiite shrine in Samarra and about two million Iraqis have fled the country since. But there’s been very little offered from the international community to help them and Jordan and Syria have made it very difficult for Iraqis, who are fleeing the genocide in Iraq, to go live in one of the two countries. Jordanian authorities have been harassing the Iraqis living in Jordan and threatening them to be kicked out of the country [you know, after Saddam Hussein’s regime was toppled the free oil stopped pouring to Jordan!] And the Syrians are giving 15-day stay for Iraqis that could be extended to three month twice and then they’ll have to leave!

I wrote about that hoping that my voice could be heard.

Today, the United States announced that it will accept 7,000 Iraqi refugees this year!
It was the best news I’ve heard about Iraq and Iraqis for months now. It is very important that we give hope to Iraqis. And maybe this step will encourage other countries to do the same and welcome Iraqis. Not Arab countries of course because we lost hope in our brothers years ago! We depend on friends now."
