Our neighbor’s son is at the primary school, he came asking my help in History lesson because his brain can not comprehend all these wars, revolutions, disputes, assassinations and invasions sustained by the Arab Homeland.

The lesson he had was about Mr.Bush invasion to Iraq in 2003, I told him to go and read well and then I would test him.

He came to me after few hours, very certain of his well study, to be tested, I asked him the common question,

Who is Mr.Bush?

He answered me without any hesitation, “ Bush is an Iraqi farmer who invaded the US in 2003.”

I asked him who is Abu Musa’ab Al-Zerqawi?

He answered, “ A US leader invaded Iraq in 2003.”

The second day he came to ask my help this time in Science and promised to be better in his performance than History.

At the end of the day, he came to me ready to be tested but power was off so we sat under the candle light.

I asked him, “ What is the use of the air?”

He answered, “ It dries the dresses on the robe in the garden.”

I asked him another question, “ What is the use of the date palm?”

He answered, “It provides us with power.”

I asked him to be specific, “What kind of power?”

He said, “ Electrical power.”

I turned to him and said, “ Habibi, if the date palm supplies us with electricity, Why are we sitting in the darkness most of the time?!!!!!!!

The next day, he came begging me to have a look at a composition, the teacher asked him to write on “ Mother Day”. I took the composition and began to read

“Mother takes care of us, she cooks our food, cleans our house, washes our dresses, helps us in our homework, she fights the Zionists and serves the Arab Nation.

I asked him is there anything left that she needs to do, he said “ She cries on us and beats herself if we are killed in one of the explosions in Baghdad.”
