I hope one day the Americans apologise for destroying your country and pay for you to have a better future.

Seems like some of the words have been enhanced. Often translation tends to influence the actual words of the person, and in children they tend to misinterpret the words because they are translated through an adult mind.

Maria: You have clearly never been to Iraq, or anywhere in the Middle East. The statement “…the majority [of Iraqis] were better off under Saddam’s rule” reeks of a complete lack of understanding of the conditions in Iraq during Saddam’s rule. If you were Shi’a, yes, life was not horrible in Iraq but, also, certainly not enjoyable. If you were Sunni, life was tolerable so long as you shut your mouth — and all of your relatives shut their mouths, too. In the long term, the results of the American liberation of Iraq will be very positive, even if the country has a period of civil war, just as the American Revolution resulted in an extremely positive outcome despite the American Civil War. I do not discount the lives lost in the Iraq War, but I also don’t blind myself to the lives that were lost prior to any invasion, and the likely greater life expectancy — and quality — that will be the legacy of this violent episode in Iraq’s evolution.

We see our hardships and this child found the image of a bee on a rose.
It goes to show how everything is perceived.
Life is truly art in motion.

Out of the mouths of babes! “I am afraid of the U.S. soldiers, they destroyed the house my family rented in 2003, when I was a fetus. Thank God my family survived and I am happy now for their departure. I am free and not afraid of their tanks.” We need look no further to understand the will and opinion of Iraqi citizens. They never wanted us to invade and destroy their homeland, the majority were better off under Saddam’s rule. The loss of life, ours and theirs, was a criminal waste, and something we as a country should be well ashamed of.
