For many, thinking of themselves as Arab and Iraqi has taken on new importance since the American soldiers arrived."

      " 'Before the war, I didn't care about politics,' said Monica Mohsin, 18, whose wealthy Christian family initially welcomed Saddam's ouster. 'I could go to clubs and parties. Now, my life is within four walls because my parents are too scared to let me go out. I swear, I never rejected Americans until they came to Iraq and opened a wide door for thieves and terrorists.'

  46. Editorial - Who Is Winning the War on Terrorism? (BBC News - Gardner)
      "If we were to look at this purely in terms of military gains the answer would be obvious. The US has swiftly toppled two governments it considered to be rogue regimes - first in Afghanistan, then in Iraq. The Pentagon's supremacy on the battlefield is unrivalled and unstoppable. Its troops are holding down a sort of peace in both countries."

      "However, terrorist attacks have not stopped and there is good reason for this, according to Gardner. "Victories on the battlefield or in the interrogation rooms are meaningless if terror networks can continue to recruit from a large wellspring of discontented youth."

      "And that is exactly what is happening. The wave of horror and sympathy for the victims that spread across much of the Arab and Muslim world after 11 September has long ago changed to something else." "America is seen as having capitalised on those attacks by trying to 'conquer' Muslim countries - Afghanistan and Iraq."

      "But there is also now a growing conviction that the Bush administration has acquired a taste for regime change and will not stop at Baghdad. Threats to Syria and Iran to change their policies only confirm that view."

In 1997, Crowe was honored at the United Nations Building in New York City, in a ceremony saluting seven youngsters from around the globe who have furthered the virtues of peace and tolerance through their creative talents. More recently, Crowe won the Swackhammer Peace Essay Contest with his essay 'Youth at Work: Building a Global Culture of Peace.' "

      "In 1999, Crowe started Youth for Peace in the Year 2000. This organization had two fund-raising events, 'The Chain of Hope' and 'Harmony in the Park 2002,' to raise money for the statue project. Crowe has raised nearly $25,000 toward the $50,000 needed for the peace sculpture." 7-05

  50. Masih, Iqbal - Labor Hero (MyHero.com)

Soon he gained international interest. Iqbal eventually started making speeches around the world, talking about child labor and his life experiences."

      "Iqbal won many awards. He was honored by the International Labor Organization in Sweden, the 1994 Human Rights Youth Action Award by Reebok, and while in the United States accepting the Reebok award, he was nominated 'Person of the Week' by ABC."

      "Iqbal is one of my heroes because it takes a lot of guts to stand up to such powerful people and to speak out against evil. He is also my hero because one of my other heroes, Craig Kielburger, would probably never have done what he has done if Iqbal had not sacrificed himself to help others." 7-05
