A Voice from the Ground in Iraq

From Faiza Al-Arji's blog, A Family in Baghdad:

Peace be upon you…

I have stopped writing on my website for a while now…

And the reason is perhaps; because I was occupied working with the Iraqis who fled the hell of life inside Iraq, or perhaps that I was bored from the same talk about the painful reality that is going on for more than three years, until I no longer like to talk, as if repeating the same words, uselessly.

Iraqis are still dying everyday; killed by trapped cars, sectarian militia, and death squads who carry out random assassinations on the streets. Or they die by assassinations organized against every nationalist or cultured Iraqi, against every scientist, doctor, or university professor…

There is someone out there who decided to assassinate everything in Iraq, everything that moves on the land of Iraq, and bears the Iraqi identity…

A Sunniey or a Shia'at, rich or poor, a Muslim or not a Muslim, cultured or not, with or against the occupation; all these are targets, and dead bodies are filling the streets, eaten by dogs…

And Bush is still living in his delusions, giving speeches about imaginary victories in Iraq. Is he fooling himself, or his people?

Perhaps both. This is what tyrants do, all over the world.

If Saddam Hussein was a tyrant, this Bush is no less a tyrant…


As always, Faiza gives us a view of the desperation that iraqis feel and the extent of the madness that's gripped her country. Go read the whole post, it's an eye opener.
