Witness - Return to Iraq - Part 3

Witness presenter Rageh Omaar returned to Iraq five years after reporting on the US-led invasion. He found much had changed and, as ordinary Iraqis told him, rarely for the better.

I am from Bosnia. I have lived trough many traumatic sceens as a child. When I look these images, and hear stories of ordinary iraqi people, I know what it meens. Americans and Brits are not aware what they did to this people. I am wery shocked, because I didnt know it is that critical. After this, there will be only more therorists, and suicide bombers all ower the globe, more people who will hate America, and, more wictims. God help us.

I am Somali and a muslim just like Rageh Omaar. I was really moved and overwhelmed by emotion seeing tears swell both Rageh and his friend's eyes @ 8:04 I also felt tears in my eyes. I hate seeing innocent civilians tortured just for their faith. I hate that, I hate that. I can't help.

@anelsol I'm so sorry you had to go through something like this, so sorry. One day Allah will come back and take his revenge. One day your sad memories will be wiped away, and you will have a new mind that wont be filled with such memories. God Bless you and Thanks for sharing.

A professor once said US foreign policy is an extension of its domestic one. Domestically, an enemy has to be created to justify the building of prisons and the passing of more&more laws. Theres no war in Iraq. Its a police action. Pit 1 group against another like in the US. And lock up and kill the so called guilty. Meanwhile, pump that oil Charlie.....Pump it. In the states ppl. naively think the troops are there to stop the terrorists from coming to their shores.......hahahaha Amazing.

peace

Bush and his friends will get theirs in hell, thats worse than any human punishment, and so will these extremists. YOu have a right to protect your country and fight, but to murder your own people (Iraqi's) is harram.

the crusades wernt tottaly the falt of europe it was a matter of attack first and hardest the middle east and europe have always been at war. the only way its going to stupid is if arab people have fair governments and economic prosparity any time either of these two factors are inhibited the 1000s year war will go on

You do know you what your saying is against Islam fouling a divine monotheistic religion.Crusaders are Just like the Fatimid & Al- Qaeda which is one of two : 1- Fools who . by good well , think that they are right & that rightness deprives the others rights

2- Racist supremacists looking down on their counterpart , which as the prophet PBUH said if so : Who has a stench of Racism on him shall never feel the breeze of heaven .

May us all be guided
