Somewhere in Iraq two years ago, a 2 year-old little boy was with his family, who are Shiites, when they were ambushed by Sunni terrorists. Muhammad Hussein, or Hamoody, has spent the last two years--half of his life--with doctors trying to restore as much as possible from what a shotgun blast at close range took from him: a face. He had a surgery by doctors in Everett, Washington that has undone what Iranian doctors tried to do and reformed his face with bone, screws and other hardware. Thankfully, doctors were able to re-form his nasal passages, allowing him to breathe while he sleeps.
Young, blind Hamoody has a face permanently disfigured by terrorists who think it's a brave and honorable thing to shoot 2 year-old boys. His is a face that will be one of many if we continue to allow Syria and Iran to destabilize Iraq. Worse, Americans might be numbered among those similarly injured if we pull the plug on Iraq and allow terrorism to flourish.
Sleep well, Hamoody. You're safe here.
