I used to think that deposing Saddam Hussein was worth it, but after listening to the people tortured and forced into exile by sectarian and anti-coalition factions, I have my doubts.  You can hear an interview with Ahlam al Goubori, an Iraqi mother of three who was kidnapped and tortured for helping the American establishment in Iraq.  

This woman has lost almost everything because she tried to help the US after the invastion.  She worked to help the families of Iraqi civilians killed by coalition troops to receive compensation.  She currently lives in Damascus, Syria, but has applied to emigrate to the United States. 

Despite what she did for us, her application is on hold.
