... this starts with a story about a boy who made a difference by rescuing starfish

Leslye A. Arsht, Senior Advisor to The Ministry of Education in Iraq as a starfish thrower... From reading her comments, you would find out how we were brainwashed from early years at elementary school. It will take some time to remove all references to the old regime and its poisonous teaching.

Another starfish thrower is the medical team at Wolfson Medical Center in Holon, Israel. They are treating an Iraqi infant born with a congenital heart defect. If the Iraqi old regime still existed, this baby would have never made it to the operation room in this medical center.

The other starfish throwers are: Zeyad, Alaa, Omar, AYS and Nabil who are devoting lots of their time every day to report what’s happening in Iraq these days. These guys are the future of my native country. Not to forget Salam PAX who risked his life to report for us during Saddam’s reign and now is enjoying the benefits of freedom.

Personally I dislike starfish and I think we could do without them but I get the point and besides, the fact that he can admit his early employment, recognize Salam PAX and Israel in the same post is pretty amazing
