This is a must listen to series of shows.
The Iran Iraq war took place between 1980 to 1988. There was a total of 70,000,000 combatants and an estimated 1 million casualties. Those are the statistics. But what of the human carnage?
What of the young Iranian soldier retching his guts out trying to breathe and survive yet another of Saddam’s chemical attacks?
What of the 10 year old Iranian child soldier who was ordered to walk through a mine field in advance of armored tanks?
What of the Iranian mother raising her children with bombardments from Iraqi planes taking place?
What of being buried alive when a shell explodes inches from your fox hole?
What of speaking to a dead Iraqi soldier who you see as a brother not an enemy
Masoud Moosavi is a Canadian. He is also a Persian who saw the evil of this war and its barbaric chemical attacks up close and very personal. This is his story. It is now our story. It is a story that must be told for future generations of Canadians. For through it all runs the hope for a better life in peace as Canada became his Beacon in the Dark.

This afternoon on Brent Holland, the true story of Masoud Moosavi. His struggle for survival. His inner endurance in the face of inhumanity and ultimately his deliverance and new life in Canada. I cannot express the appreciation for the raw courage and inner integrity Mousad showed me while taking me on a journey through his experiences in that G-d awful war during our two hour long interview. Like a time warp he brought me right along with him through the tears and adversities, the smell of death and chemicals the thunder of tanks and shells. You simply must listen and hear. Make no mistake, folks, we live in the best country in the world. I thank our troops everyday for keeping it free and safe. G-d bless them one and all.
Oh and by the way...everything you are about to hear is true.
