Before March 2003 the USA was

Before March 2003 the USA was a dream land of Iraqi people but after 2006 the USA became the salvation land. I got a chance to go there and live for 18 months.

the life is so great over there but it's hard for the people who have 40 years old or older.

anyway, I came back to Iraq, smply coz I couldn't find a job can cover my life in US.

Thanks

Akeel
