Riverbend says it all, showing that she and the Iraqi People are No Differant than We and the rest of the American People and All People on this Planet.

My parents, like many Iraqis of their generation and educational background, discouraged too much tv. When E. and I were younger, they were vigilant about the type of shows and movies we were allowed to watch. They didn’t like for us to be exposed to propaganda- Arab or Western- and any programs containing excessive violence, foul language or sexual content were prohibited. On the other hand, all types of books were encouraged. I grew up reading books by authors ranging from Jane Austen to John LeCarre, from Emily Bronte to Maxim Gorky to Simone de Beauvoir… nothing was ever off-limits.

She leaves one Understanding that these are not just her thoughts but the thoughts and feelings of the Majority of Iraqi’s as they would be to others in other Countries after being Invaded, Occupied and Rapidly Destroyed, the People, the Infrastructure, the Society, the Whole Country!
