What has the US-Iraqi War brought to the Iraqi children? During the US-Iraqi war, most Iraqi school were closed.A lot of children had to stay at home to face the dangers brought by wars.
The war seemed to have come to the end after Saddam had been caught by US soldiers.A group of people led (被領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的) by US are running a program to rebuild the schools that had broken down during the war.They say that, if the work could go smoothly (順利進(jìn)行), more than a thousand schools’ construction (建設(shè)) could be finished as the new school year starts.
Textbooks have been changed too.More than seventy million new books have been printed.The children will not find anything about Saddam Hussein as well as ideology (意識).So it is believed that the Iraqi children will come to forget Saddam, and their minds will be washed by studying these books.The Iraqi children will no longer have to start the school day singing Saddam’s song of praise (贊歌).
Many children, however, may not go to school at all.Some parents say that they are still so worried about the security situation (安全形勢) that they’d rather keep their children at home until the country becomes more safe.
