Endless Beginnings...
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...

I long for my mother's bread
And my mother's coffee
And my mother's touch...
My childhood grows within me
Day after day
I love my life because
If I died,
I would be embarrassed by my mother's tears
Mother, take me, if I return one day
As a scarf for your lashes
And cover my bones with grass
Baptized by the purity of your heels
Tie me up
With a lock of hair
With a thread from the tail of your dress
Perhaps I will become a god
A god I would become
If I touched the bottom of your heart
Put me, if I return
As firewood to light your wood oven
And a wash line on your house's roof
Because I've lost my strength to stand
Without your daily prayer
I've grown old... Return the stars of childhood
So I can share with the young birds
The way back
To the nest of your waiting

Love you.
In solidarity.
Because, of course, the Pigmy of the Black House NEVER invaded free and independent countries, NEVER overthrew legitimate and popular regimes, NEVER assassinated legitimate and beloved Presidents, NEVER massacred innocent peoples on their own fucking sovereign soils, NEVER EVER !
I wish Russia was still the superpower it once was, and could answer back: "Ok, I leave Ossetia, but only if you leave Iraq !"
But then what am I dreaming about, the monstruous reality is that every government in this stupid world only care about its damned interests and could not care a fuck about others.
Don't you see a contraddiction in being Muslim and secular at the same time?
The hypocricy coming from the US regarding Georgia & Russia is complete insanity; talking about Russia launching a military strike and invading a sovereign nation and that the use of force by Russia has been too one-sided and extreme.
Russia can use the same verbage as the US did in that Russia is protecting it's interests, national security and apparently it's "peace-keepers" were attacked and killed by an act carried out by Georgia.
I dont agree with Russia especially on some Chechyan matters but I smell the US behind this Ossetia deal. It seems the US has once again been halted and should be forced to realize it does not rule all the People of the World.
"OK, I leave Ossetia, but only if you leave Iraq ! "
Damm Right and if the US gets into a public verbal exchange on the Iraq & Ossetia matters, the US will certainly be exposed for its Herculean Hypocricy (even more).
The US government, etc...reminds me of alot of spoiled, rich, bratty kids that Never grew beyond the years of being toddlers.

Nur had one drink too many with Ataturk...she can't tell her ass from the hell hole in the ground...
will your caliphate be merciful to women ?
Besides I believe that God is secular...He said so himself.
He said "whichever you turn, you shall see My face."
Maybe He did not remember your caliphate story when He uttered his own words...
I don't know dearest, I have never been to paradise before...Do you think I need to dress up for the occasion ?
