One of my former students was accepted at the American University of Beirut for the upcoming school year. She moved to Lebanon in 2005 after spending a year in Jordan. She's from Iraq, and her house is across the Tigris River from Saddam Hussein's former palace which is now called the Green Zone.
Her parents are looking for scholarship money. Here are some of the e-mails her father wrote.

Dear Dr. Abdel Moneim Osman,
Thank you for answering, may you excuse me for my rude kibitzing for the most critical position in Iraq, and for hard situation for the most Iraqi people, and for future of Iraqi sons and daughters, and for biggest crime of this era, consequences of Iraq invasion.
May you allow me to ask you... why don't UNESCO in Beirut and in other near Iraqi countries such as Jordan, Syria and Egypt ask United Nation to create such budget for Iraqi student who have high rating to attend well known universities and colleges. This could be done form the Iraqi Oil Found.
If this Iraq Oil Found does not support the education of Iraqi people. Is it fare enough that this found was only made to support the military purpose(The Militias ) and the policemen (The gangs)??
I would like to show my deep sorrow to you if my language was not as prudent perception as I wish.
Very Truly Yours
Dear Friends and Relatives,
Iraqi Students who live inside and outside Iraq needs direct support from the UNSECO , so that they could pay their expenses of the tuition fees.
Iraq Oil Found at UN need to add UNESCO-Iraq to his priority so that they could handle Iraqi students educational requirement, for graduate and post graduate education, supporting them for school ,college and university scholarships.
UNHCR has good starting, for food and medicine. Therefore, the UNESCO-Iraq needs to do the same.
If there is limited financial amount at Iraq Oil Found at UN, it would be better to reduce the support of Military and Police Forces which they have much corruption and to add it to UNESCO-Iraq.
Hundreds of Billions of the US Fraud $$$ spends on Iraq war, and they keep spending corruptly, but for educational and for high educational system in Iraq, ………USA spend very little !!!!!!!!!
Finally wish you the best.
Very Truly Yours
Dear Friends and Relatives,
Many of Iraqis retardation men and parties, who have much concern establishing their own militias, do not give much attention to education and cultures.
For five long hard sever years, after American war on Iraq, it becomes suffering from terrorist, Militias gangs and with many other different names whether they are nationally, middle east, or internationally.
These years of retardation, huge shortage in water supply and electricity power still effect daily and will continue several additional years.
Due to chaos in education system in Iraq, there is much need for Salvage College and Universities from its calamity of the influence of militias on.
As you know the importance of education on the societies, the right and need of every human- being to have proper education.
I look forward to concern my consideration to add UNESCO-Iraq for Iraqi oil fund, so that UNSECO-Iraq could have budged to provide the satisfy need of education inside and outside Iraq, which the new educated generation , intellectual and sophisticated way can go forward rebuild new Iraq.
Very Truly Yours
Dear Dr. Abdel Moneium Osman,
The Iraqis who live outside Iraq may have supported to send their children to school, high school, college, and universities.
We Iraqi reject that our Land treated as a milky cow putting Iraqi people restricted in a square between two jaws:
First:
Tardiness of many Iraqi parties who handling situation's deterioration, which they do not give much attention to education and high education system in Iraq.
Second:
The Oil Cartel War Companies on Iraq, which they deal with Iraq as backyard to Washington D.C fighting terrorists of the Middle East on our home land with no sufficient protection to Iraqi people.
We, the peaceful group of Iraqis, who live outside Iraq would like to educate our children in a proper way with no retardation no limits to education, we just wish making good start for new Iraq.
Would you please, UNITED NATIONS and the organizations which linked with, could assist in this matter produce new future for new generation, and not deal with Iraq only as oily cow.
Very Truly Yours
