Nadine. IMO I don't find the conclusions and claims in that story all that credible. Why has the large family stayed in Baghdad? Where else are they going to go? Turkey? Israel? I don't think so. They can't get into the US. From what I've read, the best the Iraqis can hope for is that should the US attack, it happens at night so families will be together when they are killed. And too, there's still the legacy of continued disease from depleted uranium the US left behind. There's the broken promises to the Kurds wherein they were abandoned. The perception that among the Iraqis that the US is only interested in their oil. I have also read that, far from uniting folks in this country, the clans will split into three.
