It's all bad news.
The photo above is via Sean-Paul, compliments
of Halliburton a company called Parsons. No wonder they got fired. Wait until you see the rest of
their handy work. We paid for this
stuff? You'll appreciate our health care even more.
I also want to share part of Baghdad Burning. Read the whole thing, but hold
on.
Atrocities…
It promises to be a long summer. We're almost at the mid-way point, but it
feels like the days are just crawling by. It's a combination of the heat,
the flies, the hours upon hours of no electricity and the corpses which keep
appearing everywhere.(snip)
It's like Baghdad is no longer one city, it's a dozen different smaller cities
each infected with its own form of violence. It's gotten so that I dread sleeping
because the morning always brings so much bad news. The television shows the
images and the radio stations broadcast it. The newspapers show images of
corpses and angry words jump out at you from their pages, “civil war…
death… killing… bombing… rape…”(snip)
Why don't the Americans just go home? They've done enough damage and we hear
talk of how things will fall apart in Iraq if they 'cut and run', but the
fact is that they aren't doing anything right now. How much worse can it get?
People are being killed in the streets and in their own homes- what's being
done about it? Nothing. It's convenient for them- Iraqis can kill each other
and they can sit by and watch the bloodshed- unless they want to join in with
murder and rape.Buses, planes and taxis leaving the country for Syria and Jordan are booked
solid until the end of the summer. People are picking up and leaving en masse
and most of them are planning to remain outside of the country. Life here
has become unbearable because it's no longer a 'life' like people live abroad.
It's simply a matter of survival, making it from one day to the next in one
piece and coping with the loss of loved ones and friends- friends like T.
