From Dubai
More than a month passed and we didn’t have our elected government yet, but guess what, we don’t care, actually…..we are waiting for the announcement of the new Prime Minister name very anxiously, but between Mr. Alawy or Mr. Jaffary we are happy for any one of them to be the next P M, both of them are more than excellent choice for the position. And its not me only saying that, all the Iraqis who are taking a role in rebuilding the country had started reactivating their business for the coming period and I am posting this article from Dubai doing some business for the company I work to preparing ourselves for the coming opportunities and by coincidence I met other Iraqi friends from other companies here doing the same.
Seeing Dubai for the first time was very important for me and maybe for all Iraqis, just to put it as an example, or a goal to reach and do the same or maybe more in our country.
It’s my first vacation outside Iraq and I am enjoying it very much. Here I felt what is really globalization means, that ward which get criticism from many people and whole countries protest against it, well its not that bad actually it’s real good and you can feel that in Dubai, because it’s a city with no natural resources but the good planning, good administration and real open for globalization policy, that’s only a personal point of view and a thought I had.

We did It
Friday the 28th Jan 2005
I woke up on the sounds of the explosion targeting the Dora electric power station and later the sound of the trapped car in Dora too and many other uncomfortable sounds, but I knew it was my last day to get out of the neighborhood, so I went to get fuel for my car and my generator and for the kerosene heaters we have home. And the streets were not bad but not crowded. My wife asked me not to attend the work tomorrow, but I told her I have to be there and it’s not that far from home and I asked those employees who live far from the company not to come to work.
Saturday the 29th Jan 2005
We woke up on the sounds of machine gun shots, very close to our house and we didn’t hear the usual car sounds on the close main street. So I woke up late and went to our house roof to find the streets are closed by the police and the Iraqi army forces, and the shots were in the air to worn the cars to go back home or to its neighborhoods, all Baghdad areas were closed and no one allowed to move outside his district, and when I used the car to do some inside district shopping, I was followed by a police car to be sure where am I going but it was a very calm day except the warning shots. At night we were very sure it will be very calm Election Day tomorrow. At that exact night and when we were watching the election propaganda on TV my 5 year old daughter turned to me and said “Daddy we must vote”.
Sunday the 30th Jan 2005
Finally the day………I woke up on the sounds of far away mortars, but I put my clothes on, and took my morning tea and went to the expected voting center alone to vote, I thought it will not be safe to take my wife with me, at least in the morning. It was 9.30 AM and it was closed, I didn’t understand why, when I asked the gathered people there I was told it was moved to another school (which was even closer to my house) I went to my parent in law house and we took our morning coffee and later I went to the voting center which was very very crowded with people, old, young, high educated, low educated, men, women and there I saw the very old lady who came with her family, two of them helping her to walk and a third with a chare to let her sit down when she’s tired, and for the first time I saw the Iraqis stand in a very ordered line waiting for the center employees to complete moving in. at about 10.30 AM, voting started and we went in, to face the biggest problem which was many of us had no names registered, at then we told the center head employee to do something, we are Iraqis with documentation and we expected to go where we registered but the streets are closed and according to the procedure of painting the right pointer finger we want to vote, otherwise we are going to press charges against him, and for me if they were not going to let me vote I was to write the number of candidate list I am intending to vote to on a piece of paper and put it in the box and press charges against him, That’s what I told the man exactly and many people agreed on what I said. So the man went to phone his superiors and came back after few minutes to tell us we have to show any Iraqi documentation and vote after painting our pointer finger with ink, and we all did with pride, it was a celebrating day that many of us will remember for years to come.
Later about 1.30 PM I took my wife and daughter to let my wife vote too and the center was less crowded and things went easy and nice. Cars were not allowed, so and because it was our first time to take a walk after five years since my wife was pregnant, we continued walking to the close shop and it took us 45 minutes. After we came back to pass the voting center to our house we were shocked to see hundreds and hundreds of people walking miles to come to that same center to vote, sure it was unexpected number of people, and we could feel easily that they were happy to do so.
Many people died today while voting, its 7.00 PM now and the media is saying about 36 persons died by terrorist actions, may be more. On one time in Baghdad today terrorists used a Mongoloid boy (a boy with a mental illness) to trap him and send him to a voting center and it worked he died and killed few people, which confirms one thing, that we have a terrorist gang no more in Baghdad must be caught and punished. Things went alright in many parts and people went to vote in huge numbers even in Falluja. No body expected that number of voters, I felt afraid in the morning when I went to vote, now things are changed and I feel strong and ready to fight terrorists because I know for sure that the number of Iraqis who will stand behind me will terrify the terrorists and lead this country to prosperity.
Many things happened today for, example:
A suicidal terrorist exploded himself while a policeman was searching him before letting him in a voting center.
An old exited man died by a heart attack after voting.
Many terrorists were caught from many countries a Syrian, Sudani, and even a Chechanyan.
For the first time after April 2003 we could see Iraqi army tanks and armored division in the streets.
An Iraqi solder died alone holding a trapped terrorist who was trying to explode a voting center.
Monday 31st Jan 2005
We spent this day home too, no body allowed to leave his district till 12.00 PM, even after that we spent the rest of the day home, it was boring but it was an opportunity for me to finish this article and watch the news on TV. All the world happy for us, and its obvious now that those who didn’t vote for any reason not only to record their protest against the elections, maybe some were not capable to reach the centers, others didn’t have centers and election boxes, others were afraid, and maybe some had no enough time to vote, because I saw with my own eyes people who came to the center after five o’clock and found it closed. But at the end they were all minority and no body should believe that Iraqis….all Iraqis don’t have a fair chance in new Iraq and those who didn’t take that chance till now they are not late they can tack their chance now or keep silent for ever.
About those who are going to keep protesting, holding and delaying our march to the bright future, I would like to bring to their mind one small thing, the new government will be formed in few days and they will have a long year before the next elections and as an Iraqi I know that the new government will use all the strength they will have or reach (the Iraqi way) to finish the terrorists and any political party who may count on terrorism to apply their agenda.
No harm with democracy and we proved that we can live the democratic way and will spend the few coming years to learn more about democracy, But………..violence can only be stopped by violence. And a walking bomb can only be stopped before it becomes a bomb.
At last I can only say thank you all, for supporting us, we cant forget about the help we had, I hope we showed that we deserve that help. GOD BLESS YOU.

Order
Order is needed in every system, and law would assure the order in any society. Law either respected or enforced, so if the society would not respect the law then it must fear it.
After spending five day in a business trip to Basra again, I have came home three days ago filled with admire ness and respect to the Iraqi southern society which I found very cooperative and marching towards prosperity with steady steps.
I don’t want to exaggerate but on a scale of 10, if problems in Baghdad evaluated with 9 then it’s only 2 in Basra, and I was in Basra a little more than a month ago and I felt difference there this week for better. What really made me happy is the respect IPs are getting there which means respect for the law. And the same is happening in Samawa, Omara, Nasiriya, and Koot, (all are southern cities). On my way to Basra and my way back I didn’t see any multinational forces or any INGs, all were policemen on all check points (about 11 of checkpoints), all asking for IDs and our heading and searching the car. As usual looking at the bright side of our situation in Baghdad I felt it’s a matter of time to be just like the Iraqi southern or northern societies, we do have problems in Baghdad, the most important one of them is the people here are not respecting the law, so simply they must fear it and to enforce law you must have an elected government not a provisional one, and that’s what we are going to have in few days from now.
Election is a fact and is going to take place on the 30th of January no matter what, and may be some of us are not going to see the day after that day and loose their lives electing the right people or at least who we think right people, but it will be the price for our freedom, may be we didn’t pay enough to remove Saddam, so it is the price we are going to pay that day, the 30th of January 2005 to overcome our fears and be free people who did pay for their freedom.
Its not a dreamy words and not banner words for election campaign, I am not a candidate and I am not going to be one but after few years from now inside Iraq or any where else in the world it will be very prodding to sit beside a chimney fire and tell the story of that day to a grand sun or two, or at least to remember that day a lone and remember that we weren’t afraid of a bunch of masked head choppers who wanted to take us to dark ages where we would be slaves of evil.
The same day of my return to Baghdad I felt sleepy at evening when my wife came to me running awaking me saying “someone on the door”, I opened my eyes and went to open the door and saw a multinational solders with INGs urging me to open and I opened and they went in to search the house….my house, and started to ask questions fast “ any AKs?, do you have a pistol?, what do you do for living? And more “, I took the matter easy and answered the questions and showed them the place for the rifle and the pistol and gave them the permits for those. After checking my permits they cleared to me that it was a precaution check for the neighborhood to protect the election center which is going to be in it, and I cant carry any weapon that day and if I have any information about terrorism I may tell about and urged me to go to the election and assured to me that they will be there to protect the people. After thanking us they went to the other houses for the same. It was a new experience for our family, we have never had a house search before even before April 2003, but law is law and we must respect it and let it assure our life’s order otherwise we are going to fear it as we did all our life before April 2003.

"God……. give us the wisdom to see the truth, the will to choose it and the strength to make it endure"
I have never been so late to post the next article before, and as usual I am busy with my daily work, but this time it’s different. This time I’m busy doing somebody else’s work somebody who left the work. Actually more than somebody; many of my colleague at work had left for different reasons, someone because he found another job with safer terms, someone because he’s afraid to continue attending his daily job even if it was very usual one, and there are others who left the country to find their opportunity elsewhere, and of course there is someone left for a long marriage vacation. As you can see we live in Iraq very strange circumstances, some are extremely happy and some are extremely tragic.
We still facing a bad fuel problem and I need to fill my car daily with 20 litters of fuel from any street side with $3.50 and sometimes $15.00 for the 20 liters, you may find it cheep or same price you buy it with, but if I stood in car line waiting my turn in a fuel station I may wait for 15 hours not to mention the fights and intruders. I don’t mind buying the fuel with high price but I would like to get it decent and safe and of course when I need it.
And we still face electric power problem, as a matter of fact we spent eight continues days with no power, and I had to get a 2KVA generator to overcome the situation, looking at the bright side, we didn’t have to turn off the lights at 12.00 midnight at the 31st Dec, the power was off at then.
We decided not to attend the service in church on Christmas eve, If I was there I wouldn’t stand any threat without doing any thing and I still not sure I would get backup from the people with me to fight that threat.
Our streets is a real war zone these days and bombing and terror actions every where and I am talking about Baghdad. My resource in south and north telling me it’s much, much better there. But I can assure you and by an expert eye (an eye of someone who spent many years in middle of fighting, victories and defeats) that the Iraqi army, police and other security organizations here; are getting better every day and they are heading to victory, I even suspect that Zarqawi has been caught.
Our ministries are doing a very poor job, may be they think its their last month, that’s why we can find many things are suspended, even what’s left of a car bomb, nobody takes it off the streets ( you can see burned cars, plates, concrete stones in the middle of the streets left from two weeks ago explosion). May be that’s enough reason to get done with the election at the end of January without any delay.
Many of business men had left to Dubai, Jordan, Syria and even Beirut to settle there or at least to spent the time till the election date, they are not sure it will be safe here, many families had left to Jordan or Syria for the same reason, but at the end all of them are doing it for temporary time; which means they are sure it will be better soon this year (after its getting worse of course).
Now with all these facts that I have, what am I going to do?.........I’m not sure yet; but I’m intending to do all I can to make things better here for me, my family; for Iraq and Iraqis, I still got the energy to do so and I’m going to use it for better life.

Bad Moments
I was trying to write an article about attacking the police station in Salam residential compound south Baghdad on Friday the 3rd of Dec 2004 for about two weeks now, and holding my self not to talk negatively about things here, but what really happened and the story here from eye witnesses is “about twenty armed men came to the area on the hour of dawn praying and started to through the men out of the mosque who were there for the pray, and after that started to attack the police station by AKs and RPGs and the policemen did all what they could do to defend their place until they were all killed and the prisoners were set free”, here is some none answered questions for you:
1- Why didn’t any one help the policemen?
2- Why didn’t the policemen get any backup?
3- Why didn’t any neighbor call for help on the phone numbers written on the signs all over the streets?
4- Why didn’t the mosque keeper call for help by the loud speakers as he calls for the pray time?
5- Why couldn’t the policemen win the battle?
6- Why didn’t we get any answers for these questions?
7- Will it happen again?
1- Why didn’t any one help the policemen?
2- Why didn’t the policemen get any backup?
3- Why didn’t any neighbor call for help on the phone numbers written on the signs all over the streets?
4- Why didn’t the mosque keeper call for help by the loud speakers as he calls for the pray time?
5- Why couldn’t the policemen win the battle?
6- Why didn’t we get any answers for these questions?
7- Will it happen again?
All I can tell you that if I was in responsibility, then I will take all those who didn’t help or try to help or didn’t take the mater as their responsibility as guilty and at least will press charges against them even if I know they will not be convicted, but at least they will start to think. We had thirty five years of being told what to do, how to do it, when to do it and how often to do it. But enough, we need to make people start to think.
Do you think that’s impossible or difficult………..Well……of course not if we will all help to make that difference, all it will take is time, actually a very precious time out of our life time, and here is another question, but this time its for me “do I have that time to spend waiting for things to be better?”, let me see…..I was fourteen when the Iran-Iraq war started, and finished on 1988 to start the war again on the 1990 because of invading Kuwait, that’s about two other years of peace in between; I spent some of it in the army for the compulsory military service. Starting 1990 till this moment we are still in a none stop threat for our lives and having a none secured or clear future,….now… that’s totally sixteen years of peace out of my 37 years of age which means 16 years of peace against 21 years of war and threat. If I am going to die on the age of 65 or about (the life time expected for an Iraqi person) then I have another 28 years to live, and that means I can not afford to spend another ten years of a none steady unhappy years otherwise it will make my life be divided between 34 years of peace against 31 years of wars, threat and none clear future, if we will take out the first three years for having no memories for them, then its exactly the half of my life lived in bad situations.
My friends…… I am not intending to live that way, actually I can’t let this happen again for me and my family as my father did so for his family including me, what am I going to do?, that’s what I am thinking of for long hours of my day, and all I am coming to is to start again a new life somewhere else, somewhere peaceful, but at that time if all Iraqis thought that way what’s going to happen to Iraq?.
Few days a go I returned home to find my little daughter is hot and got cold because of a none heated house of ours, and that was because we had two hours of electricity after ten hours of no electricity for a month now, and so we couldn’t use electric heaters, but we couldn’t use kerosene heaters as well, because of the fuel problems we are having, so I went out that evening to buy a kerosene heater, a kerosene lamp, and some kerosene beside the medicine to be prepared for emergencies at night. It was easy for me to do so and I had no problem financially, but do all problems may be solved by money?. Till when we are going to solve these problems individually?.
It is a struggling thought I am sure many of Iraqis are having just like me at this time; I hope God will give us enough patience and wisdom to find and choose the right decision.
I know it’s not the usual me but I needed to share these thoughts, thank you to reach this far of reading.

One Year Long
It is a year long bloging for me now and I am really happy about it, because when you realize that you have posted more than 100 articles and got good positive comments for them and sometimes it’s a real debate between comments posters, you can say that you did something to be proud with, and I am proud with Iraq and Iraqis. I am trying to post steady, weekly articles but I am not getting luck yet.
For such a day I would like to remember an article that made some site visitors real angry and posted many criticizing comments on it which was:

Bedu
Bedu are the people who lives in the desert in tents .One of our most important problems is the struggle between those who wants to be civilized and the Bedu who does not know to live other way than there life stile, and if we search a little we certainly would find that there life stile depending on killing and steeling basically from each other or from any one near them. Those were the most important helpers for the ext regime. No mater if they lived in cities, used cars, phones they still Bedu . To solve such a problem we need to reduce their influence and effect on other people. Their influence is depending on the strong financial situation they have, and that’s because they were extremely befitting from the ext regime. Now that should be stopped and thing should go back to the right way.
I have lost the comments I got at that time because of switching to another comment software, but the visitors criticized my point of view of BEDU and took it as a racial opinion against other follow Iraqis, and I had to think twice before writing such thoughts since that article.

Last Saturday and Sunday the 27th and 28th of November 2004 the Life BroadCast TV (LBC) which is a Lebanese TV station showed a documentary movie about Abo Musab Al Zarqawi made by his follow reporter who is a Palestinian Jordanian who spent some time in a prison in Jordan with him, and the movie took about three hours and gave me very important information and conclusions about him, first of all he is BEDU and depending on BEDU as his close men and army and that made me right about all the wards I said about them, ignorance naïve aggressive people who think the man earns his manhood by steeling and killing, if we put on all that religious fanatic minds and thoughts then we get what we saw in the movie which were young boys who laugh and happy and celebrating just few hours before their suicide operations against solders and police and even the innocent people in the streets.
And that’s the real strength of that man, his capability of brain wash and convincing young men and even women to die killing people they don’t know just because he told them to do so. Nobody can stop a moving bomb with a brain, that’s the problem and the difficulty. I cant hide that I was astonished watching the movie for two days and wished for every one to watch it to know how dangerous this man is I even came to believe that he is more dangerous than Bin Ladin, at least Bin Ladin don’t chop heads on TV as this man do, and it was funny to know that Jordan released this man from prison early nineties with the condition that he leaves Jordan, and he did left to Afghanistan and met with Bin Ladin but their opinions and thoughts didn’t, so he established his own training camp for Mugahideen, which leads us to the most important question: Where does this man get the money to do all that?, may be his men are not so expensive but they do eat, they do need clothes weapons, TNT, lessons, tools, machines, traveling, faked passports, and even some money for their families, where do that money come from. And if someone is willing to stop this man without the capability of arresting him, then his resource must be dried, and money must not reach him, that’s the only way to deactivate this type of criminals and terrorists.

RECALL
Before March 2003 I was a believer with conspiracy theory, I used to find an explanation for every act for Saddam Husain or for every problem we faced depending on that theory. I couldn’t help it; we were so helpless under the dictator, and we needed something to relief our minds. But step by step I found my self since April 2003 trying to adapt the reasonable kind of thinking and ideas which consider conspiracy theory and its believers as a naïve thought and naïve people and started to take the facts on ground for granted and work my live according to them.
Today I am not sure what I am going to put in this article, is it another scenario of a conspiracy theory or not, but I would like to think that its only gathered facts I would like to put together for you, which really filled me back with hope that our government and prime minister Alawy are up to the problems we are facing these days and they are capable to reclaim peace for the Iraqis again, after I was started to loose my faith that they can do so when the explosions, car bombs, kidnappings and street fights were a daily actions and part of our daily life on the last two months.
Last April when the first Falluja battle started and ended, I didn’t understand why the people of Falluja were so happy shouting and shooting in Falluja streets that they won the battle against the government. And why the leader of Falluja Al Janaby was wearing old Iraqi Army uniform and not the usual INGs uniform, and why the IPs in Falluja were standing side by side with the masked armed terrorists in check points outside Falluja.
Also I couldn’t understand why the government took long time and gave chances and stood without reactions for all the terrorism actions in Baghdad and other middle Iraq cities. And why the borders were not strongly closed against Arab and foreign terrorists.
Depending on the fact that Jazeera and Arabiya TVs are pro terrorism and anti Americans, why the Arabiya office in Baghdad which includes also the MBC TV and Saudi TV being blown out? That’s another thing I couldn’t understand.
When the battle in Falluja started few days ago and the Iraqi and American forces started to finish their duties there we faced two heavy problems in Baghdad, electricity power and car fuel problems at then I told my wife “pleas remember this, just with the ending of the Falluja battle the both problems, fuel and power will be solved”, I don’t know why I said this and I wasn’t thinking at then, but I think my old intuition and conspiracy theory faith was acting at then. Any way it happened exactly as I said and the both problems are solved or about and the battle is ended or about to end with a great victory for the Iraqi government against terrorism.
With all those gathered facts above I can recall my hope and faith with the capability of the Iraqi government for enforcing law and order all over Iraq and it’s a matter of time, cooperation and being responsible towards Iraq.
I can’t give any facts about what is happening in Falluja whether there were any innocent people who are suffering or not, I haven’t been there, and I am sorry for the suffer of any human any where, but I do know about the suffer of the people in Baghdad and the other middle Iraq cities for the last few months and how we were facing death at every second, people were being killed in streets, offices, schools, houses and any were for nothing but to be in the wrong place at the wrong moment and because of a freak terrorist is trying to reach heaven fast and before every body else.
I hope the people of Falluja would understand that the battle in their city is not against them; actually it’s for them and on behalf of them against those who took them as hostages and used them as shields. But to be honest I don’t think the people of Falluja would understand that or believe it for a long time from now……….why?......... They still believe the conspiracy theory and don’t take facts for granted.
