"Peace be upon you…
"I see that the present year is about to bid us goodbye, to leave...
"In a few days, the Christmas holidays of the Christians will be on, and shortly after, Al-Adha Feast will arrive; the big feast of the Muslims.
The Iraqis no longer know the taste of these feasts, and what it tastes like to live in a city basking in peace and calm!
"Iraq is burning with the fire of a stupid war, which left no house there unharmed, one way or another…
"For the Iraqi families either lost some of its members by death, detention, kidnapping, or assassination, or the family run away leaving its house, neighbors, and memories, or else lost its livelihood method, and its financial conditions deteriorated from bad to worst…
"And we are all being patient; each of us is patiently waiting for this fire to die down, for things to be fixed well, and the wheels of life to resume turning in a normal way; security, stability, jobs, schools and universities, students- boys and girls, and mothers and fathers and children living in houses that has water and electricity, who go out to markets, to clean, quiet streets, full of cars, and traffic lights that actually work…. These are the features of cities living normal lives…
"But in Iraq, these features vanished little by little….
"When will life there go back to its normal image?
"Nobody knows…
"Not even Bush, the hero, or his comrades who planned and waged the war upon us, not even they know when or how to get out of this impasse…
God only knows….
SIRATYST (Stuff I Read and Thought You Should Too) “Either the triumph of imperialism and the destruction of all culture, and, as in ancient Rome, depopulation, desolation, degeneration, a vast cemetery; OR, the VICTORY OF SOCIALISM, that is, the conscious struggle of the international proletariat against imperialism.” Rosa Luxemburg
