No News
They say that 'no news is good news'. Maybe not here in Iraq. I haven't written anything new because all the news is the same, I mean all bad news still the same, so I have to make copies of my older posts instead of re-writing them again:).
As for my latest news, my sister returned back to her house after she left it for two days, this is not good news because they had a very bad night yesterday and she left the house again. I called her today in our relatives house. She said a rocket fell in the garden of their neighbor but it did not explode, they tried to go for the police or NG (national guard) so they can take it away before it explodes but they did not find any. They spent hours trying to reach anyone of them but they could not, and when they found one, they could not reach to them because of the high security walls they have. So their neighbor left his house and my sister with her children left theirs too. If you are going to ask me why they did not go to the US army, I'm going to answer you before you asked me: My sister told me that you can't find them just like that in the streets, and if you do find them, they are moving fast in their vehicles with guns pointed at your head.
Moreover, at my sister's house they don't have electriscity for the last four days because the street's electrical transformer was hit and the maintenance people refused to come and fixe it because it is unsafe as they told them.
As some of the comments I received calmed me because some Kurdish army went to help to settle the situation in Mosul. I don't know how to write it to you, because I myself don't understand it at all. People of Mosul don't like the peshmiraga (the Kurdish army) at all and all the news I heard from our relatives, were very astonished from our government because they brought some Kurdish army instead of the NG. And I think they just dropped wood on fire. And as I heard form people from Mosul the problem started when some insurgents attacked a Kurdistan party's building in mosul and killed three of it's guards.
As for my personal news, well the last few days my daughter had a flue with high fever, this is bad news, so I had to take care of her, and now she is recovering, this is good news, but I have the flue now, again it’s bad news, But the good news is that my husband is still ok so I'm making use of this and am asking him to prepare orange juice or hot coco to me or my daughter, wash the dishes, etc….LOL. I'm sure he will try to get the flue so he can get revenge.

Hello Rose, John from N.Z. here.
I did not want to post earlier because of your concern for your sister in Mosul.
But as awful as her situation is, it looks like she may have a chance for some safety.
It seems that even the Marines can learn from their mistakes, and they probably won’t submit Mosul to indiscriminate air and artillery bombardment like they have done in Fallujah.
Of course that doesn’t solve the problem of the insurgents, but it brings a bit more humanity to the situation.
I thought I could offer a thought to you. I am not totally at ease with the Muslim religion, particularly some of the attitudes towards women. I’m not really at ease with any religion.
But I was raised as a Christian, and I guess some of the poetry lingers and resonates. In my mind at present, during this mad war, St Paul’s letter to the Corinthians echoes. I grew up with the old (King James) version of the Bible, which uses the word "charity" for this passage. Modern translations use the word "love" but I prefer the traditional, in which "charity" for the English translators meant not just giving to the poor but something like "loving kindness, generosity of spirit."
"Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burnt, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up.
.......
And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity."
Think of every poster from the world to you, does this person have charity in their heart?
