An excellent and informative post. i read a book a while back called "The Summer's of Shiratz" , the story in this post reminded me of it.

Everyone has their own story. Original documents (if they are not forgeries), archaeological discoveries, and DNA evidence can all help.<br /><br />But even finding out what really happened in Gaza a few months ago is difficult enough.<br /><br />It is sad that the Jews left Iraq. A healthy and prosperous Jewish community is essential for any civilised country - they bring so much to medicine, music, art, literature, science and business. I think this is because they have such a strong tradition of investing in education and scholarship.Don Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11232752398252841794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27235317.post-87588905462386250732009-11-21T08:16:10.400-08:002009-11-21T08:16:10.400-08:00Hi 3eeraqimedic, Yes, what have you said is so tru...Hi 3eeraqimedic, Yes, what have you said is so true. We need to know as much as versions as we can and this needs some time, effort, and luck.<br /><br />Thanks 3eeraqimedic for the visit and for the nice comment.saminkiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11618883213770392362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27235317.post-28852590835580105712009-11-21T02:11:58.356-08:002009-11-21T02:11:58.356-08:00Dear Sami
Thans for another thought provoking post...Dear Sami<br />Thans for another thought provoking post<br />What you describe about a realisation that the version of history we had been taught was not the whole truth is very familiar, I felt that way when I left Iraq, and felt the same when I was exposed to "history" as accepted by people in west<br />Over time I have come to be very skeptical of all "historic truths", not because people intentionally lie, but because our "truth" really depends on our interpretations of events, which is coloured by our own past experiences as well as the ideas beliefs and prejudices of those who influence us in our youth<br />Trying to strip away the unproven details from documented events is very difficult<br />And that was my long winded way of saying there is some truth in all versions of history, but no version is the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth<br />Take care3eeraqimedichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10365524866250384975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27235317.post-70256514296544587372009-11-20T23:32:00.981-08:002009-11-20T23:32:00.981-08:00Thanks alot Ahmad about telling me about Ayad Jama...Thanks alot Ahmad about telling me about Ayad Jamal Aldin and his Party which I didn't know about, although Ayad Jamal Aldin always catch my attention and always talks with wisdom.

Have you taken a look at what Ayad Jamal Aldin and his Ahrar Party have been talking about in the election? He talks about the need for Iraq to come together as one country regardless of these divisions. You should check him outAhmadnoreply@blogger.com
