Without the paperwork to prove that she is the child of an Iraqi man, who later disappeared, and that her parents were joined in a legitimate marriage before her birth, Zahraa and others like her have no rights as Iraqi citizens, legal experts say. They do not have birth certificates, passports, or national identification cards and will be unable to go to school or hold a government job.
Yup, Al-CIA-Duh GHOSTS again!
These children, a little-noticed legacy of more than seven years of war, are paying for the sins of their fathers....
As we pay for the sins of our government, Americans.
And readers, I DO NOT BELIEVE this PIECE of WaPo BULLS***!
The children are products of a time when Al Qaeda in Iraq controlled swaths of the nation after the US-led invasion.
Yeah, well, which "Al-CIA-Duh" would that be, huh?
The made-up "Al-CIA-Duh?"
Or the "Al-CIA-Duh" CREATION for the COURTROOM!?

Oh, AmeriKa's MSM KNOWS ALL ABOUT and yet STILL PUSHES the CHARADE, huh?
The legal system broke down, institutions stopped functioning, and an insurgency raged. Some Sunni Muslim communities gave sanctuary to the men, Iraqi and foreign Arabs, believing they would help rid them of a foreign army.
But Al Qaeda in Iraq quickly grew brutal, overpowered other Iraqi insurgent groups, declared an Islamic state, and enforced a severe form of Islamic law.
I'm sure that won the people over, pffft!
What IDIOT INSURGENTS!
It's ALMOST AS IF they WANT to GIVE THEMSELVES a BAD NAME!
Communities slowly turned on the group, and the militants were jailed, killed, or escaped into the shadows. The undocumented children they left behind are now between 1 and 4 years old....
Officials in the Interior Ministry tasked with assisting victims of the Iraq war said the women are not considered victims of rape and, although the situation is unfortunate, there is nothing they can do.
“Helping them could encourage Al Qaeda in Iraq,’’ said Fadhil al-Shweilli, a ministry official who deals with victims of war.
Legal experts said the easiest solution would be to give the children to orphanages or forge their birth certificates with the name of a fake father.
Naheda Zaid Manhal, a Parliament member from the largely Sunni-backed Iraqiya coalition, said she will fight on behalf of the children once the government is formed....
This account of Zahraa’s birth and life is based on interviews with her mother — who goes by Umm Zahraa — her grandmother, and other relatives, but it could not be independently verified, and they would not allow their full names to be used for fear of repercussions. In addition to their legal problems, mothers such as Umm Zahraa say they feel ostracized in a culture that sees out-of-wedlock births as taboo....
When she became pregnant, the young woman considered aborting the baby or killing herself. But she believes in God, she said, and Islam sanctions neither act. By the time she gave birth, the baby’s father had been gone for months, having disappeared.
She named her daughter Zahraa, in case he returned.
Who is under that veil?
And that beautiful-looking child could be from anywhere.
Why should I believe the propaganda photo?
Because the war-promoting Washington Post told me it's true?
Those days are LONG GONE!
