I think you should go to Norway, please save your self , and convince your family to leave as well, if or when things get better, you can always return! I wish you and your family a safe, and prosperous life! Take care!

..I can actually sort of reason with you on this one. In 2003 when the U.S. invaded Iraq, I was there. And.. at the time, I thought it was pretty bad.. I ended up being targeted by an RPG and.. it flipped my truck and blew the load on the back..
....Followed by a few IED's on each side of the road.
I know first hand what the combat is like-- well I did in 2003. Now, I can also understand it's far worse than when I was there. So.. all these people telling you to stay with your family-- yes I can see why they'd say that.. But.. I really don't agree with that.
The guy that called you a coward-- blow him off. He knows nothing. No one knows NOTHING unless they've experienced it for themselves.
This is what I'd do. How about moving south for the time being? Try getting hooked up in Kuwait or moving a lil further south, to the United Arab Emirates or Oman. Saudi Arabia isn't a good choice at this time because they're currently in the conflict with Isreal and Lebanon. So, try to steer clear of that.
Now I understand that it'll be difficult and your family may not want to move... Try as hard as you can to get them out of there. If anything, as last resort, I'd even lie to the U.S. Army and exclaim to them how I and my family were displaced Kuwaiti's...The army offers medevac flights every evening out of Baghdad for a very low cost.. I think it's maybe 25 cents per person.. U.S. (which is 0.75 dinars). Once you get to Kuwait, your good.. I know that Oman has a system set up with the U.S. Marine Corps to offer displaced nationals of (Iraq) and the surrounding areas' a place of humanitarian aide and assistance.
Even that place might be better than risking yourself as a refuge in Norway.
Hope this helped.. if you need anyother info, contact me by my avatar link.. Thanks..Best of Wishes...

I think you are full of it!
IF this were a real situation I highly doubt you would be asking our advice on Yahoo.
On the off chance you are for real,and you actually want an honest answer it shouldn't be a hard decision.
If you still live at home with mom and dad and you could help them by doing this then by all means leave.Why can't they go with you?Will anything bad happen to them if you leave?
If you have a wife and kids there is no way you should leave them behind.They must go with you.You need to protect them.That is your job.How could you ever justify it if something happened to them after you left and you weren't there to protect them or at least try?

If there is nothing that you can do for your family in Iraq, take your friend up on his offer. You'll have to realize that, wherever you go, your life will be a bit rough until all this nonsense stops. I hope all works out for you and always remember, "the only people you can truly count on is family".

You should stay with your family. Did you really have to ask that question? I can understand if you are leaving your country with them or at least you are leaving to be a better provider for them, yet you did not mention anything about that. STAY IN IRAQ WITH YOUR FAMILY!

You write the two answers on separate pieces of paper. Then you fold the papers and mix them up. Then you pick one of them. Open it. It you feel good about the result. Go with it. If you feel bad, then the other piece of unopened paper is your answer.
This is to help you find out what's the choice of your heart. Always go with your heart, not your mind.

IF YOU CAN EVEN ASK THIS QUESTION TO GO SEEK SAFETY AND LEAVE YOUR FAMILY BEHIND YOU ARE NOT A MAN.
