The militiamen who guard the campus are a most divisive issue. While Sunnis like Duleimi see them as a threat, many Shiites are grateful for their presence. In January, two car bombs and a suicide bomber killed more than 70 people and wounded approximately 170 at Mustansiriya. One month later, a female suicide bomber hit the College of Economy and Administration and killed at least 40 people. Attacks across Baghdad are down recently. But Iraqis' defensive barriers—both physical and mental—are not going away soon.

Comment: I AGREE WITH CARAMIA'S COMENT. EDUCATION IS A MUST. AND I WILL LOOK UP THAT MOVIE "OBSESSION: ISLAMS WAR ON THE WEST". BUT ISLAMS IS NOT ONLY WITH THE WEST, IT IS WITH ANYONE, EVEN THEIR OWN PEOPLE WHO WANT PEACE OR EQUALITY AND FREED OM FOR ALL PEOPLE. I TOO PRAY FOR PEACE IN THE MIDEAST, AFGHAN, IRAQ AND ALL THOSE MUSLIM CONTROLLED COUNTRIES WHO BRAIN WASH THEIR OWN COUNTRYMEN WITH HATRED AND KILLING.
GOD BLESS THEM ALL AND ONCE AGAIN I FERVANTLY PRAY FOR PEACE AND TOLERANCE.

Comment: Let them kill each other and do whatever they want with their universities and country, why bother? We have got our own problems, why worry about others? All outsiders must get out of Iraq and I mean all.Once they are tired of killing each other, then they will stop.

Comment: Education is a must... You must understand the culture, history or the middle east, and the religion of Islam itself. Please understand that the people of Iraq, Iran and middle east are victims of Islamic extremists and a false religion which for generations have brain washed their people into demonizing Israel and the West (Europe and the US). Islam is not a peaceful religion. An excellent movie for everyone to watch is "Obsession: Islam's War on the West." That's all I have to say. God bless and be with you all.
