All this is fine Ali. I am glad that they still have not lost hope in having a new beginning. Still, what about the wounds already done to the country and its' people? Yes, I agree one must move on and forget the past. But, can one shed the scarred soul behind?

Whenever I read about anything regarding this traumatic incident, I think to myself, what have we humans become now? This is a humans world, isn't it? Yet, it is devoid of humanity.

Let peace be with them.

Brosreview!

Your are right, but every country or nation is destined to pass through conflict at least once upon a life time. I understand Iraq is exception because it has always been in conflicts but that is because it never had a good leader. I know the current government is corrupted as well, but believe it or not they are working, and it is just a matter of a few more years.

Yes, every country has had a bloodshed past.

I hope everything gets sorted out in Israel. They've seen their share of hell already. No more.

Insha Allah!!!
