From Faiza's blog, because it still is part of our lives

The Iraqi people are busy burying the victims of the mysterious daily explosions, or sinking in the daily worries of providing bread, the suffering of the lack of electricity and water, or, standing for hours in queues in front of the petrol stations… and the Iraqi government is sinking in her "justifications" of the horridness that are happening in Iraq, justifying her failure in controlling the situation.............
And a strange story from Basra, its stars are British dressed in Arabic clothes, inside a car full of explosives, who were caught by the Iraqi Police, and were put in jail for investigation, and then a British tank came along, attacked the jail, and set them free. People were very angry, and burned a number of armed vehicles, whose pictures we saw in newspapers; the Iraqi Police demand an explanation and an apology from the British troops in Basra, the people are angry, wondering: perhaps those have some hands in inflaming disturbances among the Iraqis… just like in Israel, where there is a group called: the Arabists, who are dressed in Arabic clothes, and slip among the Palestinians in demonstrations or gatherings, to perform explosions or assassinations….
And, there is also the besieging of Iraqi towns; bombing them, destroying houses, killing civilians and armed men, in a filtration that usually benefits the occupation, but which is justified as a security provider for Iraqis….
And President Bush, and the occupation army leaders in Iraq always declare, almost daily, that Iraq is walking on the right path towards freedom and democracy!
This, in brief, is the Iraqi scene these days…..
