I don't know what exactly they wear but I thought this might help you in your report. Iraq was not even a country until after World War I. It was part of the Ottaman Empire and then was taken over by the League of Nations after World War I. I think they finally got their freedom in 1932.

Erm...if you want really detailed and true story...\nI suggest you to go back in time (laughs) but since so far we aren't capable of it yet, so your best shot is at archives(arkib) and going to the site and asking the locals is worth a shot and you can also try at the library but you can't actually get the full list of soldiers and people who are involved because that is like impossible even if you get the recruits names from that specific place but you must know that there are others like villagers that helped too...If you want every of their names...i think its not possible because they are villagers and their name are not recorded anywhere...\nAnd if you want the all that are involved, do you count the people that did petit jobs like maybe lke the person who cooked for the men before they fight...You see what i mean?\nAs for the dates, times, i am sure you can get from the national archives or national library...

Well, I am Spanish, actually from Spain, I don't know if she is Mexican. Spanish people like to wear pastel colours, I think a nice knee high party dress with a dark colour would be fine. Black is a horrible colour to wear for my family, the just want to look more grown up. I would try blue or purple. or a white top and black pants

I (american) completely agree with you that our country has been completley out of line in trying to be the worlds "big brother". You should know that your mirror will only show what is shown to it.  My mirror would show acceptance and love for all people. I was deeply disturbed by one of your previous posts. Please dont think that americans actually have a voice in whether or not we go to war! How would you feel if I was one of the closeminded americans that thinks that just because you are middle eastern, you know the terrorists and can make them stop if you want. I can't even begin to understand what it feels like to live in a warring country, my condolensces to you and yours. But remember that not seeing all sides of the story is one of the problems that led us to where we are today.  You are obviously very upset, and for good reason. So I would like to personally appologize to you for the occupation, although I have absolutely no control over it. By opening our eyes and truly thinking about things before we believe them, we might eventually be able to achieve peace. I wish you, and your family, and Iraqi and American troops peace. Please rethink your hatred for all americans and know that there are many of us here that agree with YOU rather than our own government. By finding a way to see that no culture as a whole is inherantly evil and that every individual is different and needs to be respected, you too will be a part of the path to peace.  Peace to you my brother. Tasharrafna. Shukran.

For one, you can have participants coming in their traditional costumes, give short background to their origins, followed by having some interactions on their background. \nAs some costumes may be big and cumbersome, next part will be to change out for other activities.\nHave some current affair topics up for discussion, like is the education system doing well for them, how do they see their country kleaders, what can be done to improve situations, etc.\nAnd arrange for games. Interaction through games can foster closer relation among the participants. Simple party games can be tried.\nHope this helps.

I think you are fighting for your mother, your sister and your girlfriend/wife. You are fighting for your children or other children. You are America and you are fighting to keep us free. The ones that protest the war and dishonor our fighting men and women would be the first ones to complain about wearing burkas and turbans. Thank you for your sacrifice. Be Safe.\n\nI am a 46 yr old mother of 3, stepmother to 3 more and grandmother to 5. I have 7 family members that have been in Afghanistan and Iraq, I live in a "red" state , I have no religion and I am republican. But, I do not think that should matter. What should matter is that people should respect you for what you are doing, even if they don't agree with war.

+ I think that "nonalcoho" has it pretty well summed up, However on a much simpler scale, I once asked a young lady in Baghdad who was wearing a burka why she was walking 10 steps behind a guy who seemed to be her husband. (this was in year 2002) she turned to me and answered me in English, which surprised me, that it was because of "LANDMINES" Go figure.

I'm in Iraq right now. Me being on here should give you an idea of what I'M doing...nothing. What's it like? HOT! Alot of people do have it pretty rough over here though, but I wouldn't say the majority have it all that bad. It just sucks being away from home for so long. I don't think it's really getting better. They're gonna fight us as long as we're here.

Have you taught them about Kurdish kids BEFORE this war? Is there some Hitlerish plan to incinerate Iraqi children that we haven't heard of? Keep things in context, and remember that this has been a SHORT war with amazingly few casualties, most of which are inflicted BY IRAQIS!!!!!!\nNo comparison to Nazi genocide is possible.

What you see in the Iraq news, is not what you get. The news business demands startling headlines, to attract eyeballs. It's business, as the eyeballs are rented to advertisers to pay for it all. But the reality of the news is less startling, and consists of trends. These are the current trends in Iraq.\n\nAfter three years, the Sunni Arabs, who long dominated Iraq, most recently under the leadership of Saddam Hussein, are giving up. It took so long because of a quirk in Arab culture, one that encourages the support of lost causes. The term "cut your losses and move on" is not as popular in the Arab world as it is in the West. But even the slow learners in the Sunni Arab community had to finally confront some unfavorable trends. Chief among these was;\n\nThe Kurds and Shia Arabs have formed a national police force and army that is far more powerful than anything the Sunni Arab community can muster. Over the last year, Sunni Arabs realized that the police and army were in control of more and more Sunni Arab towns. This was a trend that could not be ignored. Added to that was the number of Kurds and Shia Arabs who had lost kin to Sunni Arab terror over the last three decades. Many of these people want revenge, and they all have guns. Many, especially those that belong to the police, or militias, are taking their revenge. The Sunni Arabs want protection, for they cannot muster enough guns to defend themselves. Now the Sunni Arabs want the Americans to stay, at least until there's some assurance that the Kurd and Shia Arab vengeance attacks have died down.\n\nThe alliance with al Qaeda was a disaster. These Islamic terrorists were obsessed with causing a civil war in Iraq, and they insisted on doing this by killing lots of Shia Arabs. The Sunni Arabs didn't want to kill lots of Shia Arabs, they wanted to rule them all once more. But that raised another contentious issue. While some Sunni Arabs were in favor of an Islam Republic, which al Qaeda insisted on, most Sunni Arabs wanted a more secular Sunni Arab dominated government. This dispute was never resolved, as the split between al Qaeda and the Sunni Arab community widened. At the moment, al Qaeda is not welcome in most Sunni Arab areas. That's "come near this place and we'll kill you" not welcome. This after al Qaeda tried to terrorize the Sunni Arab tribal leaders into compliance. Killing Sunni Arab tribal chiefs didn't work.\n\nYou can't kill enough Americans to scare them into leaving. Saddam, and most Iraqis, were convinced that, because of Vietnam (where 55,000 American died) and Somalia (where 18 died in 1993), the United States would withdraw if you killed enough of them. While that is sometimes true, it's good to remember that over a million Vietnamese died during the 1960s, and that 1993 battle in Mogadishu left over 500 Somalis dead as well. Moreover, this, "the Americans have no stomach for a fight" is nothing new. It's why Japan attacked in 1941, believing that if they beat up the Americans bad enough, the faint hearted Yankees would just go away. Hitler also believed the Americans would not fight. After three years, the Iraqi Sunni Arabs have discovered that the Americans can certainly fight, and the Yankees have also found ways to do it that involve extraordinarily low American casualties. This story has not really gotten the attention it deserves, but the Sunni Arabs have noticed. They have noticed that if you attack the Americans, chances are you will die, and the Americans will just keep on keeping on. It used to be that the Sunni Arabs could take heart from the occasional attack where they killed a few Americans. But no longer. Everyone knows the trend, and doesn't want to be another victim of it. Last month 32 Americans were killed in combat. The last time it was that low was in February 2004. Back then, the Sunni Arab tribes and al Qaeda had joined forces. Both of them had plenty of weapon
