Alaa Al Al-Gadhi

Alaa Al Al-Gadhi: Alaa Al Al-Gadhi is sitting in an air-conditioned conference room in Stoney Creek describing what life was like in 2006, during the height of the post-US invasion violence in his native Iraq, according to CBC. Seven years after those dark days in Iraq, the Baghdad-born Hamilton resident does not have to worry about bomb blasts anymore, but he does have to think about blueprints and building specs and Its so frightening. You dont know when the time will come when a bomb will drop, or if there will be a booby-trapped car or...you will have a bullet in the street. Even if you are the bravest man in the world, nobody likes war. I have been through four wars, but even me and my family are frightened by that situation. Its horrible to be in a war, said Al-Gadhi.
