on Heritage of the Past and Chaos of the Present, by Ahmad al-Saadawi

Unfortunately, the article reported only on the university culture in Baghdad and in the Arab part of Iraq. I hope that this was not motivated by Arab nationalism! Everything functions in Kurdish universities as Arab students wish. They are politically mature and can demonstrate and express their opinions in public in order to realize their right to study. Due to the lack of religious "hypocrisy," there is more freedom and room for change in Kurdistan than in Baghdad or anywhere else in Iraq. Your pages should report a little more on what has succeeded in Iraq and not only on the disasters that existed in the Saddam era.
