Dr. Dahlia Wasfi, an internationally known speaker and activist, gives this PowerPoint presentation and lecture. Born in the U.S. to an American Jewish mother and an Iraqi Muslim father, she lived in Iraq as a child, and has visited her extended family there. The 1991 Gulf War, economic sanctions and the invasion of 2003 have incapacitated Iraq's public health services and devastated hospitals. She believes the first step in ending the genocide is to end the occupation; then healing can begin. See liberatethis.com [liberatethis.com] for more information.

From the page: "Fight To Survive

The Statistics were a group of soldiers deployed in Iraq between January of 2004 and March of 2005. The posts from this period are an expression of our raw emotions and thoughts while serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom II. Since being honorably discharged in the summer of 2005, we've continued to post additional journal entries, poetry, and reflections from our time served and our current lives as veterans as we continue our Fight to Survive."
