Seems like EU is to pay a price for Bush's war on Iraq. DAMASCUS (Reuters) - For a while in postwar Iraq, life looked up for Ahlam al-Jibouri, who found a well-paid job working with the U.S. authorities after the 2003 invasion. Now she is an impoverished refugee living in a Damascus slum, along with thousands of her compatriots. .... .........She joined her family in neighboring Syria, which has opened its borders, schools and public services to anywhere between 500,000 and 1 million of the 2 million or so Iraqis who have fled the bombings and bloodshed in their homeland. ...... Eventually Jibouri found a job at a textile factory which pays Iraqis $80 a month for working 10 to 12 hours a day. "The salary doesn't cover half my rent, and I couldn't leave my children unattended for all those long hours," she said. To make matters worse, her 12-year-old son Anas died in a Syrian state hospital last year, on the day he was admitted. ............. "I know a few Iraqis who were awarded asylum legally, but many reach Sweden through smugglers," she said. "I know English and have a university degree. At least there I have a chance of finding a job and my children can get a decent education." ................ They'll get there as peaceful muslims. Then after they get the legal papers will demand wearing burqas in shcools and at work to show how much they love Islam and its polygamist "prophet".
