I agree with little miss green and mrsgavanrossem. Many of the youth who live in Baghdad also don't have electricity. Bush thinks this war is helping us but its creating more and more terrorists who hate the U.S.A. Sadly not only is it endangering us but its ruining the lives of so many innocent Iraqi teenagers who had nothing to do with the war in the first place.

Interestingly enough I read an article in the latest Newsweek discussing this. Sadly there isn't much support for the kids in Iraq, I did notice that there was a guy by the name of Jon Powers who was a captain in the army that has set up an orphanage for displaced children because of the war. Sounds like a pretty cool program, i believe the name of the program is War Kids Relief.

Well considering they're surrounded by constant death and destruction and armed white men that don't care about or understand their culture, probably not very well, if anything this war is breeding new terrorists everyday out of the youth of Iraq.

National Geographic Channel showed a documentary called "Inside Saddam's Reign of Terror", with personal accounts and graphic photos and footage of Iraqi life under Saddam's 24-year rule.
Sadly, life for Iraqi children has been horrifying for years, but they wouldn't have improved as long as Saddam or his sons ruled the nation.
At least there is a chance life can improve...if the people want it badly enough.

It's killing quite a lot of them, making all of them afraid, almost certainly making them feel that there's no point in planning for tomorrow so you may as well give in to whatever feelings you have today, and as for convincing them that democracy is a Good Thing, that the USA has good intentions, and that George Bush's God is better than theirs ... forget it.
I estimate that the modal Iraqi citizen is less than twenty years old, has seen or participated in at least one act of violence, fears for the safety of his home and family, and is not easily going to be converted to any other attitude than defensive/aggressive. Wouldn't you?

if they didn't get killed, their country is distroied no colleges no work no homes, they cannot walk in the street without being afraid of getting killed, i think their lives became the hell it self even if the war stoped it would takes many years to have a normal life for each one of them because the war is taking there relatives lives, the pain wont be easy to be forgetten
