this is a home made video for people to feel sorry for this family , of course as muslims , i do feel sorry for all . many iraqis moved to jordan and love it there and feel like its there country, my point is, is that Saddam Hussien should have remained in power . he is not the only leader that is called a dictator . ive met many iraqis sunni shia alike whom wish saddam was still in power . Loss of such a beautiful country . the strongest country that was in the middel east , allah yerham sadaam

@atmospherejo I am an Iraqi and I have been living in Jordan for a long time. I love Jordan and I am thankful for the hospitality that it has given Iraqi people with no homes in their home land. But you should face the fact that Iraqis have contributed positively to Jordan's economy. Iraqis are investing in Jordan in many things such as buying homes and cars. They're increasing Jordan's economy in my view.

i think this video is not right u went to one familly that is facing problems from iraq , what about thousands of iraqis who lives in rabieh and om othaina and abdoun and gardens etc owning the best houses and the best cars , millions of dollars is still spent from them each month while they makes jordanian lives more expensive , too many jordanian families are suffering like the on u showed , im sorry for both but can we please be balanced :)

My point is nothing about the feelings and situation of refugees in general or in particulary about Iraqis, I know how much they suffer everywere because I know some of them and I worked with them.

The point is, how the lady compaired her safty in Iraq and in Jordan to be at the same level ?! also her kids can't leave home in jordan or in Iraq?! see it again and then you will find it was said in a unclear way.

This is a UNHCR stuff talking here,and all what has been said in this video is very true actually, these are some of the less devastating stories I have heard about war in Iraq and refugees. Those people are only telling the truth and nothing but the truth. When you are going to be a refugee one day you will remember those stories while telling yours. So please do not judge the credibility of people just because you do not know the truth.

And this is totally rubish, it's showing unclear message, and it's unfair to compare their situation in Jordan as it's in Iraq.

Those are only some who are willing to go to the US or Europe and they are willing to say anything.

On the other hand, Jordan with its less than 6 million population hosting 1 million Iraqi and the USA hosting few thousands?!!!

This is the worst video editing done i have seen you just can not focus between talk text 1/4 of story then another. JUST SHITTY VIDEO

This video does a good job of portraying alot that has gone on in the Middle East. It does not give an antecedent, specifying who tortured, threatened, kidnapped and killed. The viewer is left full of questions. Are these witnesses of a particular religious group, and radicals of another one committed these acts? If so, which, Sunni or shiite? Both? The documentary in its present state is incomplete.
