An in depth look at the lives of the people, specifically the women…
Iraq is currently under reconstruction, in which
everything that once was, is now being
changed and altered into a new way of living
for the Iraqi people.
The United States’ goal in Iraq is to create a
democratic society for the people of Iraq, and to specifically help the
people escape the brutality of their former
dictatorial leader, Saddam Hussein.
Do you support how America is fighting
the war on terrorism?
Why, or why not?
“We think that America chose to fight with
terrorism, but in reality they support terrorism and
provide them with what they want.”
“People in our country are not an enemy and foe of
the American people. These are just political
ideas.”
Zahra Ansari,Behpooyan High School,
Tehran, Iran
Do you support how America is fighting
the war on terrorism?
Why, or why not?
“Yes, because if they don’t go to Iraq and fight them, they will come to United States. If they attack the large cities again, a lot of people are going to die. That will make it worse.”
“No, because if Americans attack Iraq, they kill people
who don’t agree with terrorists. Also, other
countries’ armies go to Iraq to help them. Some of them are already dead,
and some of them already left Iraq, because the
citizens in their country don’t like war.”
The Northwest School,Seattle, Washington, USA
Should the U.S. have invaded Iraq?
“Yes, we think that the US can invade Iraq. But we
advised both countries that they should show their
white flags to each other.”
Zahra Ansari,Behpooyan High School,
Tehran, Iran
“Our opinions are, America can attack terrorists, but America shouldn’t attack Iraq. America
is important for other countries, and America should be a good
example but when America attacks the other country, then the other countries will learn bad things and they will also
attack other countries.”
“America doesn’t have obvious clues to attack Iraq. If they
have obvious clues to attack Iraq, then it is okay. For
example, if another country attacks Iraq, then we think America can attack Iraq to
escape them.”
“I don’t think America has to fight with Iraq. I think the other country has to help Iraq. The
military has to go back to America. They shouldn’t get oil
from them. If America really wants to stop the terrorism,
they have to stop the war first.”
“America is the most powerful and strong country, so America has to be an example of peace for other countries. Now Korea is helping America, but I think
Korea has to request to America to stop the war. I think America has to stop the war.”
The Northwest School,Seattle, Washington, USA
“About the terrorism we think that this is another way of
making nations slaves. Especially in the case of
United States. You didn’t have any proof that Saddam had
nuclear weapons and even if they had, the U.S. A. does too, and these weapons are more powerful than the weapons of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. We
are not safe anywhere especially in the streets.”
Brazil
“Our opinion of the war is not very good. We think that war
against terror is necessary, but not the way your country is
doing it. The war in the Iraq is also not acceptable because
the reasons for it were just the petroleum…where are the
weapons of mass destruction? And what did Saddam Hussein
have to do with Al Qaeda?”
Alexander von Bullion and Moritz Drangmeister, Germany
Iraqi women once enjoyed basic rights, that
many other women in Islamic societies did not
get, and Iraqi women were once looked up to by many surrounding
Muslim societies.
How many rights did the people, especially the
women really have under the rule of a brutal
dictator who in history has abused and tortured
his own people?
In your country, do men and women
have equal rights, or are there differences
between how men and women are
treated and what they can and can
not do?
“Korea has almost equal rights, but we are not perfectly equal. Sometimes when a company engages an employee, and if they are a man, then they get the scholarship, but if they are a woman, the company needs
to see the face of the woman. If there are two women and one
is ugly, but went to a good school, and the other is pretty and went to a poor school, the
company hires the pretty woman.”
“If a woman has a baby, they cannot join any company, and when a woman becomes an
employee of a company, they have to bring coffee and other
non-important things to the men. In Taiwan we are the
same!”
The Northwest School,Seattle, Washington, USA
“In our Country men and women have got equal rights. Of
course there are jobs which are dominated by men or
women but woman are not “oppressed” or
disadvantaged.”
Alexander von Bullion and Moritz Drangmeister, Germany
“In our country we don't have equal right between men and
women, because women have many maternity rights after
their babies are born. So the companies don't want to hire
women workers and they want to hire almost only men.”
Brazil
The future for Iraqi women right now is
unknown, only time will tell if the Iraqi women gain and retain their
rights throughout Iraq.
The possibilities are endless for Iraqi women, and the Iraqi people and it will take many months,
to years to create a strong, well-developed Iraq that respects all of
its people, and is successful and a joyous
place once again.
