The Iraqi doctor sat on a corner of the stage, listening and smiling as Seattle grade-schoolers sang for the orphans of Baghdad.


We are children of peace. We are the children of the world.

But when they sang the words in Arabic, Enas Mohamed broke down. It was not just the lyrics, but the innocent faces smiling back.

Nah-nu awladdul salaam, Nah-nu awladdul aalaam.

Mohamed, a research coordinator at the University of Washington, cannot block her emotions when she thinks of friends and family still in Iraq, and the devastating effect of war on children there.
