For God's sake, tell me where to begin? I was set out to write about Father's day and the thousands of fatherless Iraqi children.The thousands of killed fathers, the thousands of fathers trying desperately hard to feed their families, daily putting their lives at great risk, in a country gripped by demonic violence. The exiled fathers, selling scraps in Amman and Damascus, bearing the brunt of daily insults. Or the unemployed fathers, feeling torn inside watching their kids go hungry. Or maybe the head bent down father, slouched posture, hiding scars beneath a worn out shirt. The father that has been imprisoned, humiliated, tortured and sodomized, unable to look his children in the eyes... Or maybe I should write about sexual torture and sodomy instead... The further horrors emerging from Abu Ghraib and the Taguba report... More reports of "abuse". And I am sure Abu Ghraib is not over. I am certain that more Abu Ghraibs are taking place in Iraq, in those shadowy deten...

Norm, normality, "normalization" as in politics...all anti-vital poisoned honey.
Trust me rather to die of cold a lonely bird in the wide empty winter skies than renounce my "wings" for the blissful tepidity of an earth worm's vegetative life.
I'm completely normal. I've learned a long time ago to go my own way. I march to the drums in my head and sing to the tunes in my heart.
I was listening to Omar Bashir's Al Andalus, when I went to your uncensored blog... I just love the sound of the Oud and the music of Iraq, but the "flamenco Arabe" that O.B. plays is also very enjoyable.
By the way, I have a sticker on my car (a 1989 vintage ) that says "Who are you to say what's normal?"
Coincidences, as I said.
Interesting post.
There is a quote
*Normal is the pathology of the average*
I am not normal either !
Lots of love
Salaam dear
Coincidencies...

"im completely normal"
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
So, have you been able to strike the blance btween playing along and being yourself in your "real" life?
Also I dont want to meddle in your afffairs, but have you ever considered writing professionally?
I think that you would make a difference. There is a red tape that goes all the way through your social, political and subjective writings,which is connected to the core of the real problems our culture and civisation are facing.
Some very astute, intelligent, well written comments here...
A breath of fresh air in a stale blogosphere...
Thank you.
Writing professionally takes energy, time and money...
I am not sure, yet another book will make a difference.
I 've read tons of books, by tons of authors...Nice to keep as names and references. Have they really shaped this world into a better place? Am not sure.
Actually am not sure of anything anymore.
you completely normal? you could have fooled me...hahahahahahaha
