the tortured one Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 The first private schools have opened in Iraq in nearly 30 years. Al Mamoon scientific secondary school in the Yarmouk district of (I think) Bahgdad. This is the first time Private schools have been seen in Iraq in nearly 30 years. To quote the assistant principle Majeed Hamad Thir "During Saddam's time, we were thirsty for liberation and democracy, he isolated us from the world." Coupled with the recent elections, things are looking up in Iraq, I'd say. I wonder how long it will be before a free Iraq can stand on it's own two feet. I wonder if they will end up vilified like Israel is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
