Why ?
Yes why? What for? What does it say about you? What does it say about your countries? What does it say about your institutions? What does it say about your governments, your "culture", your "civilization", your history, your "progress", your "values", your concepts...? Have you ever stopped and pondered these questions? Have you ever stopped and asked yourselves ; how come? How come we are so advanced, how come we are so democratic, how come we are so great, how come we are so free...And how come we allow so much murder, oppression, abuse, go unaccounted for ? Have you ever asked yourself this question ? I was just listening to the BBC World radio. A report from Oxfam - and in your eyes that makes it credible - over 70 % of us Iraqis, no longer have access to clean drinking water. I say no longer have because I remember not so long ago, one could turn on the tap and drink. As simple as that. The report goes on to say that over 50% of Iraqis are u...

I am asking this to you as you seem to be quite a palm tree "expert", besides ex-owner of a sweet innocent unlucky one *sighs*
Some time ago, someone very very very dear to this poor mad heart of mine wrote to me that my nature reminded him of that of "a palm tree, when at sunset..." - and left the rest in suspense.
I asked him many a time to finish his sentence, but he (by the way, a most unique, both insufferable and unforgettable type of human being...) refused to satisfy my curiosity.
I must say I never had the pleasure and honour to see a palm tree in her natural environment, juast like I was star-crossed enough not to be in time to visit the Great Iraq under the Martyr President's wise and enlightened rule.
But I love them both, the plant and the land, to such a point as to always pray the Almighty God that they may one day offer my mortal remains cool shade and safe shelter...
Long live Baghdad and Al-Quds free and dignified, and eternal glory to the Arab nation.
I will be awaiting your clearing-up.
My respects.
I don't know you tell you me !
I just write and the outcome is not in my hands.
As to how blogging changed me -- it has changed me radically. What is on the inside and the outside, are one and the same.
I am not sure what your friend meant by that analogy. I'd take it as a compliment. The most beautiful sight is watching the sunset through the branches/leaves of a palm tree. The sunsets and the palm tree remains upright and unbending...
No, am an agent for the Somalian secret services...
I FEEL your pain and sense of loss ...
Not for long - the tide will turn. Helwa ya baladee will be far, far more helwa than you've ever known.
With love and in solidarity.
Good to see you around. The tide will turn when the scum are out - regardless of where they came from.
God bless
How come Haris went to Israel?
Does everyone have to go there?
Thanks for your sharp, clear edges.
Am SO tired of keeping losing "things" on my way...
