Welcome to another story from the land of Iraq!
When Fetooh from Iraq came to the workshop, I was all ears. I wanted to know what else has happened in the name of the “good vs evil “ war in her country and how the American led war succeeded in destroying the livelihood of innocent people and the very fabric of Arab and Muslim homelands. Fetooh spoke about the looting of her own home and the continuous fear that resides over the whole city of Baghdad. But to her surprise while looking through her dismantled home, she found a small rug that her grandfather has given her as a gift. Rugs usually are part of the fabric of households; I used the rug to speak about this hole that the war has left behind in history.
