I was feeling so lucky to born in a safe society where people protests in peaceful ways. In Iraq, there are some people who express their hatred toward the government with severe methods such as suicide bombing that this article mentioned. It is hard for Iraqis to develop their economy wholeheartedly while their life is in danger and might be taken away in the next minutes. The local farmer who spoke to the news agency could be one of the casualties if he was at the bombing point. Innocent people were killed in this chaos; parents lost their children or children was orphaned because of the action. If the government were to find a better way to communicate with the civilians or the radicals could find a way that could grab more of the government's attention, there would be less casualty and could create a more stable society. However, this requires many years of efforts and there's not much for me as an outsider can do. At this moment, we can only provides aids for those innocent people who lost their home in these uprisings.
