Children of Iraq

With tomorrow being July 4th here in USA . A holiday built on FREEDOM..

I found this video last night and it saddened me to know we are celebrating our freedom and the people of Iraq are dying for theirs.

I hope you can feel this video in the light I did, not pointing fingers however feeling the agony of what the children mostly are going thru during the occupation.

  3. It’s so pathetic!

    Here in India too, you will come across children working in such risky and dangerous conditions and that too without being paid what they really deserve and sometimes they get nothing for their hard labour. Many children can be seen begging at railway stations, bust stops, and in the markets, at temples and mosques, or religious places… everywhere!

    Hahah… I laugh at the meaningless term:

    F R E E D O M !

  4. ‘Freedom’ is the highest pinnacle of the human race. Freedom is above everything. It is biggest tragedy with the human race, that one human wants dominate over other human. And other one has to made efforts gain his freedom. We ,human, consider the other animals as lowly in intelligence and emotions, but I find it otherway round. Often people misconceive between ‘freedom for’ and ‘freedom from’. One wants ‘freedom from’ the dominance , slavery but after obtaining freedom , people have ‘freedom for’ doing anything. But as soon freedom is arrived it is misused.I agree on what Gopal said, same thing has happened with India. India got ‘freedom from’ British dominance and had ‘freedom for’ developing the nation in every way. But the freedom was misused, because till you are enslaved you fight for freedom, but once freedom found it brings so much responsiblity to act wisely, where India has failed. Apology for the longer comment then the post :)I enjoy your posts as they are interesting.Happy Independece Day to you and all American brothers and sisters.

  5. HI Gopal.I understand your feelings and I agree also.. FREEDOM IS A STATE OF MIND :(I always reflect back to Ghandhi and what he did for India..no one in history has done more not even Abraham Lincoln who freed the slaves here in USA. thank you for sharingFatimah

  6. HI JVI too feel as you do.. I believe we trade one freedom for another and it’s an endless chain of events.Everyone wants to come to USA since they preceive the US being so full of freedoms .. yes and no .. there are many here however, you only trade one for another .. you don’t get the full package in any way shape or form.For each freedom there is a prison of some type of limits.. the only freedom we all share is the freedom inside our minds and hearts .. this is where it lives and breathes and also can not be taken from one..You can make a long comment in my blog any time you have a great mind which matches those great wonderful eyes :)Thank you for speaking and sharing inside my blog I am honored.Your FriendFatimah
