"Iraq too perilous for many professionals; Brain drain from nation in last 5 years is dramatic" by Tina Susman, Los Angeles Times | October 20, 2008
BAGHDAD - At a time when the Iraqi government is encouraging its citizens to return and the US military is highlighting security gains across Iraq, the Shakirs nevertheless want out. They see no future in Baghdad for Iraqis such as themselves: well educated, affluent, secular or non-Muslim.
More than 2.5 million Iraqis having fled the country, political, and business leaders believe it will be many years before the loss of professionals can be reversed. Many people continue to leave.
And yet, the LYING ZIONIST PRESS -- which has LIED ABOUT IRAQ from the start -- is telling us BUSH WON IRAQ!!!! Yeah, I AM BOILING OVER with RAGE at the DAMN JEW LIES, sorry!!!!
More than 7,000 physicians have left Iraq since 2003, including virtually all who had 20 years or more of experience, said Mustafa Hiti, a member of parliament who sits on its health committee. About 600 have returned, he said, but none are top-flight specialists.
Most specialists were Sunni Arabs who, to achieve their professional status, were members of Hussein's Baath Party. Even if they did not adhere to its ideology, they were ostracized and forced from their jobs after Hussein was ousted. Now, they do not feel comfortable in a country run by Shi'ite Muslims, Hiti said.

Are we CLEAR, readers? Doesn't it strike anyone as odd that these people INTERMARRIED and LIVED TOGETHER for CENTURIES without killing each other and blowing up each others' mosques -- until USrael got there? Doesn't something STINK to you, readers?
CUI BONO?
At the Ministry of Higher Education, spokeswoman Siham Shujairi said 6,700 professors have left Iraq since 2003 and only about 150 have returned. About 300 have been killed. Shakir, 65, used to make good money as a customs clearing agent, but he closed shop after the 2003 US-led invasion because of security worries.
More LIBERATION, I see!
Gee, WHO would want to kill the DOCTORS and PROFESSORS?

His daughters Rafah and Raghad, both in their 30s, feel pressure to wear veils outside even though the family is Christian. Rafah Shakir tucks her small cross pendant into her shirt when she goes out. "I used to have an import-export business. I used to be able to go to my office and work on my own," said Rafah, who is studying to be a human rights lawyer. "I can't do it anymore. I can't even wear short sleeves anymore."
And CUI BONO by pitting the CHRITIAN against the MUSLIM?
Surprise, surprise, it is the JEW!!!!!
Even though security has improved, professionals continue to be targets of assassinations by extremists who see them as being pro-Western or religious infidels. In addition, the power in Iraq lies with conservative Shi'ites, and there is no sign that will change any time soon.
Tired of the JEW LIES, sorry!!!!
Ahmed Farhan, who works as a chef in Scotland, returned to Iraq for the first time in 14 years this month and couldn't wait to leave again. He and his family are Shi'ites, but he said he found the atmosphere stifling and the sight of armed police and soldiers on street corners unnerving. --more--"
Bush calls it LIBERATION!!!!
Honestly, readers, I HAVE HAD IT with the DAMN JEWISH LIES!!!!
