Varieties

hello friends, I become too lazy for writing posts, sometimes I want to write but I don’t know what to write. I don’t want to make all my posts the same complaining about our bad lives that we are living.

I still have the flue, for more than a week, actually I became much better two days ago, and I went to take a bath but as usual the electricity went off and I could not use the hair dryer, I tried to operate our generator so I went outside with my hair wet, but it didn’t work. and I think I have the flue again, this time stronger than before. The bad news: my husband now has the flue too.

To all my friends who sent me emails: thank you very much for your support and prayers. I should send you replies, but I’m too lazy, and for those who asked me questions before, sorry If I missed anyone from you, I received many emails and I might forget to answer some, so please don’t hesitate to remind me if I forget and I will be honored to answer them all.

Some of you asked me how do I connect to the internet? I have three ways. the first one through phone line at home, I use internet prepaid cards. the second way, my husband have a direct internet connection in his office so sometimes I write a post and he posts for me and checks my emails, the third way, internet cafés, which are many, and I usually go there only when I have to make research for something and when I have to use the internet for a long time.

For the last comment I had from Sherif, well Sherif, I wrote many posts expressing my opinions about this war and you can check them. But the thing I did not write about is my point of view a bout Fallujah and I’m going to answer you in this post.

I think Fallujah needed a campaign similar to this long time before the terrorists and gangs strengthened themselves and made large cells and killed many innocent people. Maybe if they did it before they might have made it less bloody with less casualties and without destructing the whole city and driving away thousands of people from their homes and forced them to live in tents without source of heat in this cold weather. As I heard from people living in Fallujah, they had enough from those terrorists , but they could not do any thing against them because the terrorists would kill them with their families. I heard that some of the terrorists forced many families to have them at their homes and I heard that many of those families were killed during some attacks by the US forces. And that’s why the people of Fallujah want to put an end to it. Many of Saddam’s loyalists ran away to Fallujah and stayed there after Baghdad’s fall and I think they made some connections with other groups and co-operated with them. especially Saddam’s inelegance, because as I know most of them ran away to Falluja and I became surprised when I heard (during the war) that they escaped there, but now I understand why. One of the kidnapped people whom I know from far away said that they took him to Fallujah after kidnapping and he said the kidnappers were so organized even they were working in offices and had a lot of documents put all on CDs, and had lot’s of names in their lists to be checked, but they released him after paying a very large amount of money and he was lucky for not being killed. The only thing I did not understand is that the US army surrounded the city for long time but they did not check who left the city and made many of those terrorists escape to other cities like Mosul.

When I review the sequence of actions that the US army follows in solving problems, I found it similar to Saddam’s. Destroying all that come in front of them, act strongly without mercy, like killing that wounded person in the mosque!, random arrests, destroying houses if they suspect that there are some fighters in them. Maybe Saddam’s policy was right, and this is the only way that works with us. In the end only the innocent people pay and suffer hard. My prayers to those innocent people who had been killed or became homeless, my heart and mind with them. It is so hard when you don’t know if you will be back and if you do, you might find yourself and your family without home to live in or a place to stay. I know the government promised to compromise them, but they did not say how much they will pay them and when? Money doesn’t replace the losses of the memories you had in that place or that corner nor replace the losses of your beloved ones.

I wish we were avoided this violence from the beginning, and again I blame the Americans for the mistakes they have made after Baghdad’s fall. They could have simply minimized this blood shed from the beginning if they had acted wisely.
