...takes many forms. Here's an Iraqi mom in Baghdad:
One learns a great deal about oneself during wartime. One thing I learned is that I cannot give up my home and accept life in exile.Maybe there's something to be gained by us staying, too.When I contemplated moving my family out of Iraq, I asked myself, "What do I want to gain from leaving? Would I really be able to secure a future for myself and my family? Am I willing to leave for good?" If I left Iraq, I would have to give up my current position as a university professor and start from scratch. That's not easy, especially for an Iraqi exile.
Here, I own my own home and have established myself both at the university and within the journalism community.
And by staying, maybe I can teach the upcoming generation that there actually is hope of improving their lives in Iraq.
