<<The dead rest easily enough. It's their living relatives who won't rest. >>>

Hmmm . What was that WW2 figure, 20 mm Russians, and how many Germans and Joos?
Comparatively speaking, the Iraqis have no reason to complain.
If the Europeans, France, Germany, England, Russia, Italy can forgive the past, work together, and live within their boundaries- why cannot the Arabs get their heads out of the history books and ideas of revenge and look forward?

Iraq can become a paradise , a rich haven for tourists, and earn the respect of the world.

But if they hide the womens faces, prevent their education,
and keep trying to seek revenge upon the Iranians or the US
they wont get very far.

Their trip to a better future starts with the economy and employment which lets people gain self respect.

hmmm
I don't know what the dead know (what I wrote was tongue in cheek), and it isn't even all that obvious what the living think- but I am sure that some of the relatives certainly will not rest. Other relatives will be worn out by sorrow and give up, and still others will just go on with the business of living, and try to put the past behind them. I am sure there are any number of ways the living will deal with their losses.
