Whatever time I spent on the net yesterday, has been solely devoted to Iraq & Iraqi Bloggers.....browsing through their Profiles....getting to know more about the Bloggers...reading their Posts and comments & counter comments! It started with that article on BBC (Previous Post) and it continued till the wee hours of this morning!
And I woke up...still giddy with Iraq & Iraqi Bloggers! Late into the night I was reading about this Blogger who supports Saddam and felt things were better then....and now the Blogger was mourning and will not celebrate any festival/holidays till the country gets truly liberated. The Blogger gave all kinds of statistics .....but then there were others, commenting on the Posts on how to explain the atrocities....the rape...the murder...
Yes, how much of it is an exaggeration and how much is the truth...who can tell? Only one who has experienced....or one whose family has experienced...or one who has lived there...will be able to shed some light. No media can/could give the exact truth.....different perspective....different sources whether reliable or unreliable...different political associations....different motives....whatever....
One thing which I must say is....whatever it was about Saddam Hussein..........I personally didn't liked/agree with the ending. Was the attack on Iraq necessary? The UN Investigation was being conducted peacefully.....the call for attack did not have UN sanction.....did anyone find the "Weapons of mass destruction"? Did Saddam, President of Iraq deserve to die like how he did? I wish he had killed himself rather than be captured and be treated thus and lived up to the name he was known as, "Lion of Iraq".
This is not to be misconstrued as supporting Saddam and his actions. It is not related. I condemn all kinds of atrocities....anywhere in the world.

Nice thoughtful post...Wishing you a Merry Christmas & a Wonderful New Year. May the New Year bring lots of joy, happiness & prosperity in your life & your loved ones.
Great post, Mirandia, and thank you for your comments on my blog and others. But I think that Saddam was treated pretty well, considering what he and his family did to Iraqis for 24 years. I just wish the trial had continued. I wish that Saddam was forced to answer questions about the Anfal campaign.
Happy holidays. Eyamich sa3eeda:)
oof, i think there has been enough bad behavior to go around on all sides in the iraqi dilemma...& plenty on the US side, for sure!
...but...i really just stopped by on christmas eve to say "HI" and "merry christmas" and that i wish you all good things for the holiday, the new year, and 2008!!! :)
(ps: i am so sorry re the word verification being troublesome; but i am wary of not putting ANYTHING between me & spammers as i have heard some scary stories lately. feel free to lurk & email if you like...or just lurk...if i can find a way to fix it, it shall be done!)
