An Arab Woman Blues - Reflections in a sealed bottle...

Been following the leaks from Afghanistan...the untold covered up stories, parts of them...people are getting very excited about the whole thing, as if they've just discovered dynamite. This shit has been going on for 10 years now...suddenly Afghanistan is remembered again...which is good but it's a tad late...thousands of lives have been destroyed in an already poor ravaged country... The same happened to Iraq - it must take a big story for people to remember...again, meanwhile a whole nation and thousands of lives have been totally destroyed...and the same goes for occupied Palestine, it must take something monumental for the world, the Western world in particular to react... It's like you need to go and dig for that empathy, through torturous routes, and all that it takes is for some Western run agency or person to divulge parts of the Truth, (because trust me the whole truth is still buried down there), for any of it to become credible...for any of it to be listen...

This is serious stuff...not satire at all. While some have been converting to Paul the Octopus sect, in the wake of his World cup football predictions, am happy to announce that am converting or more aptly joining the Donkey party of Iraq - called in Arabic Jamiat Al Hameer Al Iraqiya . The Iraqi Donkey's Association also known as the Abu Saber Party. The headquarters of this party which has been approved by the Kurdish Regional Government - probably the only intelligent thing this latter has done - are in Suleimaniya. But this is no chauvinistic party and is not limited to "Kurdistan". The founder Omar Glul, secretary general of the Party is nicknamed Abu Saber. Abu Saber is also a name given to Donkeys in Iraq. Saber comes from Sabr and Sabr means Patience...Abu Saber means the Father of Patience and who better represents that than a Donkey ?! The HQ are located in a 5 stars hotel in Suleimaniya. And this party has found much support and mobilization amongst ...

There was a program early evening on the new "debate" around the "legality or illegality" of the war ON Iraq, taking place in not-so Great Britain... Seven years on, only now is there a debate about - if the reasons leading up to the war ON Iraq and consequently their legality are justified or not... Oh my, the English are having a sudden coup de coeur for Iraq or what ?! Or are they just going through the usual motions of the "mea culpa" in an attempt to atone for the crimes ? You know trying to look good in public - stiff upper lip and plum in ass and what have you... You lot make me laugh...and when I see you pontificate, my contempt and disdain grow even stronger...it kind of implants itself in my being, solid like rock, solid like roots from an old tree that refuses to bend... What are you debating you wankers ?! Debating what exactly ? After what ? You really have no shame whatsoever. You are a total disgrace. A total failure. A totally immo...

No seriously, what is there left to say about Iraq ? What is there left to write about ? When "covering" the Iraqi elections, I said - If Allawi ever tries to form an alliance with the driller Muqtada Al-Sadr, responsible for the ethnic cleansing of Iraq, alongside other Shiites militias - I will stop blogging on Iraq in any serious way... Allawi only made it thanks to the Arab Sunni and some Shia votes. And what do we get in return ? Not that I voted - I don't believe in the shit political process under dual American-Iranian occupation, established over 1.5 Million Iraqi corpses. I leave that to other Iraqi bloggers who are so eager to get the stamp of approval from their masters the Americans and Iranians and God knows who else...and maybe get an American green card or a permanent residence in Tehran in exchange for their loyalty... Well guess what ? Just as predicted, Allawi is forming an alliance with the chief driller, rapist, torturer of -- Arab Sunnis, Women,...

People have a very naive simplistic view of what a psychopath is. Watching too much TV and reading serial killers novels have something to do with it. But just as there are different levels of human vice and corruption, there are also different levels of psychopathy. As a matter of fact the two go together. The more contaminated a person, country is - the higher the level of psychopathy. Now there are two kinds of psychopaths, grossly put. One is dumb and one is more sophisticated. Both are terribly boring though, and truly there is absolutely nothing fascinating about them. Because apart from wanting to destroy, (and again there are many levels of destruction - from outright killing to morally eliminating "opponents", using others and the rest...) psychopaths are really pathetic people. And in turn they form pathetic nations... Whatever their level of "intelligence" - and I do not believe in the intelligence of the psychopath - he/she is very easy to u...

I very much believe in THIS   recipe Feed others and you will be fed in return...Spread the message wide.. . Thank you! P.S:  My secret wish - if someone can start the same in Baghdad's slums.

Everything that is related to Iraq pains me deeply...everything I read, every Iraqi I see, everything I remember, every song I hear, every picture I come across... Iraq is an open wound that will never close, will never heal...Iraq is my raw open wound... I've tried several times to get to the bottom of the pain, I've always believed in getting to the bottom of things, fearlessly so...this does not mean that at times I did not shun away, avoiding it at all cost, sure I've done that too, but when the wave washes over, more often than not, I let it come... And tonight is one of those waves washing over...crushing itself on hard rock. The silence, indifference, abandonment...of Iraq is the hard rock...but who can stop the waves ? By God tell me who can ? It pains me so much to see Iraq so devastated. No, let me be courageous here -- it does not pain, it rips me apart...it tears my soul... my heart. Maybe I've become the timid voice of devastation --  the voice ...
