IRAQI GIRLS: HOME & AWAY - PART 2
 |
SAMAR BASROWI, 23
Vice: So where is your family from?
Samar: Basra. My dad was a chauffeur there.
And how does your family feel about what’s happening there?
It makes us mad. They’re oppressing us in Iraq. Even the Westerners know that now. If you count the ratio of soldiers that have died compared with the amount of innocent civilians that have been killed ruthlessly, it’s absolutely disproportionate.
Here’s another thing: They think it’s OK to kill Saddam but still have a total dictator like George W. Bush in power. It isn’t.
If you watch Al Jazeera you see the major contrasts in how the news is communicated here and there. You don’t see the real reasons behind all the problems. It’s not just Americans vs. Muslims. That’s not what it is at all.
What is it? |

When Saddam was in power there was a Muslim divide between the Shia and the Sunni, but nothing like the amount of conflict happening now. I think a lot of the extremists of those two sects are actually happy that Saddam was brought down because they can take advantage of the total lawlessness that exists there. The government is useless. The power in the country lies in random militias.
You sound angry.
I see the latest headlines and the latest so-called “breakthroughs” and it makes me physically sick. Whenever I look at the media I know my day is going to be ruined by being exposed to all the stuff that’s out there. And you do get the feeling that you can’t do anything about it. I try and block it out and it gets me very heated.
How heated?
Sometimes I get into debates with the people I work with at this music licensing company. People’s pure ignorance leads to total frustration. And then it’s clobbering time. |
