Community comment: “Iraq is not a safe country.” Why? United States a safe country? When you look at Chicago, Philadelphia, New York and all that you think it’s safe? Fear. Everywhere it’s bad and good are everywhere…Tell you the truth it’s safer in Iraq than Chicago. Visit the country and then judge. You cannot judge because you heard something on the news or somebody told you something. I was there two weeks ago. I’ve been going back and forth. My kids been going back and forth. Everybody’s been happy.
