Iraq is a country that needs a good health system - but the chaos that's injured thousands of Iraqis has also hit the country's hospitals and doctors. This week on War News Radio, we examine what some are calling a public health crisis in Iraq.
Also, we look at a program that's trying to help Iraqi and American children understand each other by painting pictures.
Finally, a rare conversation with Yousif al-Khoei, the grandson of one of Iraq's most important Ayatollahs. He discusses the past persecution of Iraq's Shi'a population and who's responsible for the current bloodshed.
These stories, plus the week's news, from War News Radio.

Review of Healing Iraq
This program gives perspectives on the war in Iraq not heard elsewhere. There are first-person accounts mostly of Iraqis dealing with different aspects of the war. Especially memorable is a segment about an exchange of drawings between Iraqi and American schoolchildren. This program doesn't go out of its way to present the U.S. administration's position on the war, but then again there's enough of that already happening in the mainstream media.
