I am relieved. She has been one of my absolute favorites for a long time. Her writing is superb both descriptive and emotional. I had been fearful that she had not posted since April and she may have been one of those “we don’t do body counts on Iraqis” statistics. Thank G-d she is safe in Syria.
Speaking of which, Syria has taken in an estimated 1.5 million Iraqi refugees and I think it is criminal that neither the US, UN or any other country is helping Syria. It shows how much we really care about real Iraqis. A very tiny portion of the $500,000,000,000 + we have spent would go a long way toward making Iraqi lives better in both Syria and Jordan.
A very eloquently moving diary entry.
