The days are symbolic of Prophet Moses receiving revelation from God, and of the martyrdom of the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, Imam Husayn.<br /><br />Unfortunately we have not been able to enjoy these holidays, to celebrate them as we normally do because Iraq has been rocked by attacks. They were especially bad here in Baghdad, I have lost count of how many people died due to these attacks. The targets were mostly Shiites, but other Iraqis died, and that is the bottom line. Iraqis continue to die at the hand of these murderers, cowards, and animals who cannot let others live in peace, freedom and happiness.<br /><br />What do they want from us? I wish they would just burn in hell, go away you evil scum eating garbage. I wish to curse at them, but I would then lower myself to their level. I am especially personally touched by these tragedies, some people that I know were affected, an old classmate of mine, a beautiful woman was robbed of her life, and many of my friends have lost loved ones. The only thing I am thankful for is that my own family is safe, but when Iraqis die, I bleed, I hurt, and now that I see it on a more personal level it burns more than ever. <br /><br />At least the authorities are trying harder to crack down, but I begin to wonder if they are doing enough. I will not let emotion overwhelm me however, a finger must be pointed at Iraqis who are too cowardly to tell about these terrorists, who harbor them through their silence. I would like to see our new government formed quickly and take a strong stand against these quiet collaborators. Fear should not stop one from doing the right thing.Husaynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12288059501593018123noreply@blogger.com
