So there's war in my city, and we have to get out because it's just too dangerous to hang around.
But now the battle is over, and the city has been liberated. I don't know what that means except that we are allowed to come back. We may not bring our cars because they are afraid some of the people who live there may use them as car bombs. But they have provided a bus that can take everyone where they need to go for free. The only problem is our house has been blown up, and our church, but that's a small price to pay for liberty. Freedom and democracy is more important than having a house. That's why we in Iraq are so grateful to the Americans. They have saved us from the terrorists.
They saved us and when they're done here, it will be your turn.
