(of course I'm just kidding :P lol) You're always smiling in these vids Ausama.. that just plain fascinates me. lol. Kind of disturbing that you guys can now tell the difference between bullets..

I have this video on my blog, though I don't get many views. I want to help spread the word. Everyone in America should see this, and ask themselves what we have done to this country.

Just want you to know that I think it's amazing what you are doing. I can't thank you enough for being so brave and getting the message out. I wish there was more that I could do besides say thank you, and try to spread words of peace. Take care of each other. -Lisa Hey Ausama, Adel and Saif, and anyone who helps make these vidos possible. Just want you to know that I think it’s amazing what you are doing.

It is the way you see ppl living under this kind of preasure with all this danger but at the same time they are able to wake up every day and live their lives and at the same time have a smile on their faces, make fun of it..... This is what makes us really appreciate the human nature of Iraqis..... Because if you come to think about it, those people have been living under these conditions for the last 17 years, it's not only since the military invasion 4 years ago... I mean, we complain about our political systems because we are not totally free to do what we want, because we dont think it's a free country but if you look at Iraqis, I can't imagine how it would feel to have someone threatening to cut your head off if you simply show any sign of a political or religious view.... Long lives Iraq. exactly, this is what makes the difference…… It is the way you see ppl living under this kind of preasure with all this danger but at the same time they are able to wake up every day and live their lives and at the same time have a smile on their faces, make fun of it…..

Remember, since the U.S. invaded Iraq, it is not just Iraq but places all over the world and especially the Middle East that have faced serious social problems, so at least the Iraqis are not alone in their suffering. What strikes me about many of these videos is that the people are so resilient and also capable of ironically stepping back from their suffering and sometimes even making light of it, to make the burden more bearable. Clearly the people in these videos are attached to the beauty of their country and human life in a way that comes from struggling to live.
