Have "Fun"? I think you wouldn't have said that had anybody kicked your or your family's ass by bombing your house. Not my idea of fun matey, innocent people are DYING down there.

Damoulianos Marios has a very valid point. I could not agree more.

Sorry this is a bit

As a student in London in the mid 1980s Mrs SY3 knew an Iraqi, her name was Shatha, she was reading architecture at UCL. However - she (Shatha) was petrified because she had overstayed her leave to be out of Iraq, and the British Government wouldn't extend her visa, so she had to go back. One of her two brothers had been killed in the Iran/Iraq war, he was a doctor and was forced to fight. We used to send her Christmas cards etc but never got a reply, then it dawned on me that if she was being persecuted maybe we were simply making things worse.

I wonder what happened to her.
