The Problem

To make ordinary citizens and people in my state and region more aware about the consequence of war especially concerning Iraqi civilians who bear the brunt of an unending war. Many people overlook the effects of the war outside of the billions of dollar it has cost since the war against Iraq began in 2003. Many people do not realize the war takes a mental, psychological and cultural toll on both countries Iraq, United States and rest of the world.

Plan of Action

To display this video to as much people as humanely possible to show the ignored destruction of culture, history and society by modern warfare and politician's ignorance toward world cultures. Also show to any curious person that contrary to popular belief terrorism is not entirely irrational nor based on any religious teachings. Historically and even today terrorism does have a reason for occurring mostly due to political and historical grievances and reasoning, not just misinterpretation of religion and power. The main political motive for some terrorist organizations to increase recruitment has been the war in Iraq, Israeli occupation in Palestine, war in Pakistan. The war, historical-political factors and religious push motives and encouraged more young people to join the ranks of Al Qaeda and other terrorist organizations. These are some factors that contribute to the continuation of terrorism, war and media's sugar coating of war abroad.
