There is a group of the major terrorist organizations and they order their cells to activate in Iraq to destroy it and spread fear in the hearts of its citizens. That is because most of the organizations plant bad ideas in the heads of their members to make them hate life and believe that they do is the right thing even if it was contradicting their own beliefs. This is something wrong and it is the base of terrorism. Hence, we must work hard to change these ideas in all the possible ways.

Terrorism committed many crimes against the Iraqis and it must be punished. There are many dead people who suffered from the terrorist operations. The terrorists destroyed the life of the citizens and the services that must be provided. We are all required to work to eliminate those who represent the corruption in our countries.
