Writing this memoir has been challenging for me, but I have looked at the end result. If I can shed light on the plight of the people of Afghanistan Iraq, Syria, Libya, and other war torn countries, and if I can help people see things from a different point of view and perspective, I have accomplished something. This book asks questions that most of us don’t dare ask our politicians, who go on with business as usual. It is important in today’s world, where millions of people have been uprooted and become refugees. Why these senseless wars? What kind of world are we envisioning for our children? Where is the humanity?
