What's in a name? Iraqis change their names to avoid coming under attack.

"I changed my name to Abdullah because it is a neutral name. It could be Sunni or Shi'ite. My life is more precious than my name," said Omar Sami, an Arab Sunni university student.

Iraqis have become increasingly fearful that their religious allegiance could cost them their lives as the country slides toward civil war.

So names, many of which can clearly identify which sect you are from, have become a matter of life or death.

So this is the type of freedom that we have brought to Iraq? They are so frightened that they are willing to give up their very identity? Even Saddam Hussein never took their names from them.
