At first, whenever I visited this site (yousaytoo.com), I usually browsed some photos (especially those that seemed a little funny). What changed me to a serious everyday-visiting user were just a single comment and a very shocking article including its comments.

- The article was meant to show Terri Gurrola, an American female soldier hugging her daughter right after returning from Iraq. It was so shocking I couldn’t stop myself replying some comments.

- The comment, the other reason of my visits to be continued, was from someone who was suggesting the US to “bomb Iran anyway” ! Although it didn’t lead to a bombardment against Iran (!), it hurt so much. ( http://www.yousaytoo.com/user/Ganza/4519 )

Let me introduce myself: Siamak, 28 and I’m an Iranian.

Please be patient and read the story bellow:

27 years ago, when I was less than one year old, the executed Iraqi dictator, Saddam Hussein, started a war against my country, claiming to conquer Iranians in just one week. That f…king one week lasted for 8 long years! Millions from both countries died! Saddam used its chemical weapons against soldiers and civilians. He ordered to bomb the cities where civilians were living….

Those days, I was less than 10 years old.

One day, when some Iraqi planes were bombing Tehran (where is and was my hometown) one of the most moving and remembering feelings of my whole life happened:

I can still hear the roaring of the jet plane that flew over the house in which my mother and I were hiding… I can still feel the warmth of her body when she was tightly holding me in her arms, maybe preparing herself to accept the death of both of us in just a few seconds…

The plane passed. No bombs were dropped, we were both alive, but my mother and I could not move for some time that seemed too long to me although it may have been less than a minute! After those long seconds, I felt her wet teardrops on my cheek. Those moments were defiantly the worst moments of my childhood…

…

…

… Now please imagine the sentence: “Bomb them anyway”

And now please watch the photo of Terri and her daughter: http://www.yousaytoo.com/user/kitty/3540 )
