That's Amazing

Seeing a young Iraqi who, based upon fashion and grooming, could be any twentysomething kid in a band in the United States...or Europe, for that matter. I just hope this footage doesn't come back and haunt these people.

Defining courage

These good people define the word courage. They are surrounded by death and destruction, and carry on. I am sure they all knew full well that participating in this project would expose themselves to retribution by the terrorist agents of death which are seeking to wrest control over their country, but nonetheless, they believed it was important enough to get their message of perserverance out to the rest of the world. You see these webisodes and leave with a sense of awe.

Keep it coming!

Another amazing episode. This guy rocks and my thoughts are with him and all Iraqis who are trying to make sense of this awful situation and also just to live life and keep striving for a future, for stardom, for expression, for hope.
