Yo. Thank you. Shukran. Awesome. I will do what I can to see that more and more americans hear you, and learn to see Iraq through iraqi eyes. You are brave, and yes, a little foolish. But maybe that is why bravery is sprinkled on youth. When decisions are being made about using violence to solve problems then those people should know about the effects of political violence on innocent civilians. Not just the dead. No. The living who are directly affected, they pay every day of thier lives for our decisions. Waw! I'm putting a hometownbaghdad link on my blog!

There are so many things happening in the world today that needs attention....we have the war in iraq, we have darfur, we have killings in somalia among others....I know how it feels to be so mad that your anger makes you cry...Like Lelly I am not Iraqi but this video just made me feel so sad. I'd post this in my blog and send the link to all the people in my mailing list..A lot of people care I just wish however that I for one could do something about it. Wish you all the best.

I would love it if you could come to America and really make a nice life for yourself. Your country has really been torn apart. Was it better with Saddam? Did the Americans really do this to you? What does Israel have to do with it? I can understand that you love your country. But if it is overrun with thugs or warlords ( so called insurgents ) how can you ever expect to have peace there? I wish you all the best and hope you make it out alive. Maybe you can do some artwork, and mail it to the US and I can have an exhibit or something. I can hook you up with some art dealers or something, Email me privately. Peace, Rick I love Saif and Ausama too Wow,

Also, irrespective of the answer to the question of whether Iraq is a safer place now than it was in 2002, the utmost should be done to make Iraq as safe as possible now. That must include an international conference so narrow interests are cast aside for the common good. I didn’t see many of the things that Rick S. references with regard to this clip about Adel.

And I cannot blame you. Though it is comforting to see that you take your anger out through graffitti messages and music as opposed to violence and bloodsheed like some others might. You are truly an honorable person in a moment and area of war. To the creators and crew, thank you for allowing us to see the lives of these three young men. It is fortunate that we get to see three different types of men and their similar experiences and different reactions. It shows that not everyone reacts to things the same, but at the same time, they still can and do feel the same sorrow. Adel,

Did you hear the falling bombs
Did you ever wonder
Why we had to run for shelter
When the promise of a brave new world
Unfurled beneath a clear blue sky
Oooooooo ooo ooooo oooh
Did you see the frightened ones
Did you hear the falling bombs
The flames are all long gone
But the pain lingers on
Goodbye blue sky
Goodbye blue sky
Goodbye
Goodbye

It is something that everyone in the west needs to see. One thing that people forget is the human equation of what is going on there. Sure the media talks about it and creates those one or two minute clips on it but we all need a wakeup call on. What you guys are doing is giving it to us. You are showing us a personal view of the violence and how most people in Iraq are spectators in a war just trying to survive. I thank you for giving your views and showing us a glimpse of what it is like. Who wouldn't be angry with what is going on. I am glad that you are using this as an outlet to tell your story and how you keep. Keep your head down and eyes up and never lose hope for tomorrow. Hey Adel,
