"While growing up, just m
name allowed me to experienc
prejudices, just because I was Ai
abic," he said.
But the stuggle in the classroor
was preferable, Shukur said, to ex
periencing the eight years of wa
between Iraq and Iran, which be
gan in the early 1980s.
"A couple of things could hav
happened if I stayed," Shukur saic
"I could have fought in the wa
and died, I could have fought an
somehow made it through, or m
parents might have been able t
send me to America to study."
Regardless if he stayed or noi
his home was destined not to re

U.S. forces were sent to defend 1

"On his part, it is probably an
excellent move because he needs
ill the cards he can hold in his
land because he is not on the level
if military strength the United
States is," Shukur said.
"I don't agree with what he has
lone, but if he wants to hang on to
whatever power he might have left
ir if he wants to make this a very
strong fight, then he probably has
nade a very good move."
Shukur said he does feel the crisis
will develop into war if the si;uation
does not improve
Iramatically.
If war did break out and he was
isked to fight for the United
States, he says he would not want
:o fight, not because it involved
Iraq but because he doesn't believe
in taking another human's life.
"I just don't think I am capable
if killing," he said.
