My mom, my two brothers and I all went to live in the basement of my aunt’s house with seven other Kuwaiti families.
Iraqis were breaking doors to get men between 16 and above (military age). I remember my mom hiding my two brothers in the water tanks, and they used to stay there for hours. She was afraid the Iraqis would take them and she wouldn’t be able to see her sons after that. It was September around 4 pm I was looking through the only window we had in the basement. I saw two Iraqis carrying a black trash bag ring the bell of our neighbor’s house. Our neighbors, unfortunately, had left their house so the Iraqis placed the bag in front of the door and left.

Thank you Libby for posting this and I too am glad that Jasmine was able to see the end of Saddam.

I also couldn't help be reminded of the book .. The Diary of Anne Frank ..

I will never understand how people can be so evil

"I will never understand how people can be so evil"

Me either.

Exactly! I was thinking of that too! Also, I thought of the scene from "The Patriot", where Gabriel goes into the city where his girlfriend lives, and sees a the bodies of two or three of the villagers hanging in the trees! (hideous!)And to think that this still happens in this day and age in many parts of the world!
