Healing Iraq by Zeyad, a 24 year old man working as a dentist.I want to live long enough to see [Saddam] caught ALIVE. ...I'm sure it would be a great day for some real celebration in Iraq. I just hope the Americans won't make the stupid mistake of killing him like they did with his sons. ...I would rather see him alive and humiliated for all he has done to this country and to humanity. I'm not even sure a trial would satisfy me. ...I just hope someone from the Pentagon is listening.
I was so very very very dissapointed today after I heard Noori Al-Badran's (The minister of interior) instructions to Iraqi citizens regarding Ramadan. He stated that "any Iraqi 'caught' publicly not fasting will be arrested and imprisoned for 3 days with a considerable fine to deter anyone who shows 'disrespect' for this holy month. All restaurants inside and outside the cities should close from dawn till sunset, except first class hotels restaurants. Alcohol selling shops should stay closed the whole month". ...I never imagined they would come up with something even close to that. ...Aren't we supposed to be a secular state?
The new IP [Iraqi Police ] and traffic police are doing a great and wonderful job. Iraqis used to describe policemen as lazy, corrupt, and unreliable. Now they are welcomed with cheers by Iraqis everywhere they go. They are efficiently protecting schools, colleges, banks, and public buildings. They are being trained and briefed daily by the coalition on modern police methods, effective communication, and human rights. I'm sure the coalition would be at loss if the IP weren't around. They are giving enormous sacrifices daily. They are a huge part of what makes me optimistic about Iraqs future. I salute them wherever I see them. ...A hundred thousand dangerous criminals released by the regime before the war are loose on the streets killing innocent people, abducting children, women, and businessmen, carrying out daily armed robberies, and carjackings (an average of 20 carjacking incidents occur in Baghdad daily). And since those criminals know they won't be executed for it, they act extremely. Hence your regular murderer kills a policeman and then asks for his rights.
