Salam! I taught in east Dearborn for about 7 years and many of my students came from Al-najaf and Baghdad. Question for you: how safe is northern Iraq, (for me, anything north of Baghdad and Tikrit I’ve considered ‘northern’). I always hear mixed reactions about it.

Saddam Hussein was awarded the key to the city of Detroit in 1980 for paying the debt of a Chaldean church. Is there a generational disparity of support/disdain for him? I’d like to think it’s all disdain, but I’ve spoken with some Iraqis and they agree that there were some positives that came out of his regime.
