The Fall of Baghdad

Iraq at a glance (Iraqi Sunni fm Baghdad)

...We needed someone to liberate us.. Iraqis were waiting for years and saying ‘God is greatest, the most gracious the most merciful, he will save us from Saddam’but he couldn’t !!! believe me some Iraqis were saying that also! So we were waiting for Mr.Bush to put his words into effect...

...After the LIBERATION the American troops were patrolling in Baghdad neighborhoods and districts and the Iraqi men, women and children standing in front of their houses waving at them with their thumbs up, they were so happy, the Americans and Iraqis were helping each other in removing the rubbles, cleaning the areas that witnessed battles.. Then at evenings American soldiers were heading with their tanks and Humvees which were like new cars entered the city and not that scary military vehicles into soccer playgrounds to play with the Iraqi youth, they were really friends.. until the terrorists and insurgents began their devastating acts, they wanted to spoil this relation and turn the sentiment against the coalition.. However, I don’t want to go through this subject, all of us know what those terrorists want...

Back to the ‘fall’, this word is denoted for describing the success in the war against an Enemy, Is Baghdad an enemy..? Absolutely not.
Why don’t they say ‘Liberation of Baghdad’.. ‘Iraqi freedom’.... ‘Fall of Saddam’.. ‘Fall of the dictator’?
What a powerful insight, as usual.

I loved the feeling of that day. The sense of doing somthing good for humanity.

Then the men with bombs and guns stole that feeling away. Oh well.

There is an old American saying: No good deed goes unpunished.

Most of the time it is evil that is rewarded.

Even though a man knows he will be punished for his good deeds, it is a moral imperative that he do them anyway.
