Right Path
Iraq & Iraqi's (Sunni Iraqi in Baghdad)
It is always a pleasure to read the words of a patient and thoughtful person.
You should be aware that there will be many difficult days ahead before the election of January 2005.
When these days come, and your friends are upset, just tell them that you are waiting for the election.
The great thing about elections is that even if the party you vote for doesn’t win, you will still own the government.
The winning party represents everyone in a Democracy, not just the people who voted for them.
Arabs often make the mistake of saying “I like the American people, but I don’t like their government.” This is a misunderstanding.
In a democracy, the people are the government.

...any one with a simple mind and some reason and live here can see and touch much difference between Iraq before March 2003 and now. And for the better of course.I wrote this reply in the comments section:
Any one who doesn’t see and feel that difference, then its because he doesn’t want to, or he was so comfortable and satisfied with the ext regime…….May be many Iraqis are not satisfied with the security situation here in Baghdad, and when I am saying Baghdad, that’s because there is much difference between security situation in Baghdad and the other cities of Iraq. And it’s much better in the rest of Iraq. That’s what our friends and relatives in those cities are telling us.
And I am sure that the security situation in Iraq in general is better that many European and American cities,…… its just the people in Iraq are not familiar with such situation...
...When I read the speech of Mr. Bremer on the 23rd of April 2004, I can’t find in it but true intentions to make thing better for us and with logical methods, easy to be substituted in Iraqi society...when I hear about the new contracts, some of them about rebuilding Faluja and when I see every day in my way to work many Iraqis on their way to work, schools, and many construction sites, and markets full of imported goods with many ordinary people doing shopping, and imported cars in car markets more than the customers who are trying to buy cars, and when I feel the people of Faluja happy to get red of the terrorists in their city and many others are forgetting about the rebels in Najaf and thinking of them just a bunch of twisted minds, then I know that we are on the right path.
I am sure that these days many Iraqis know that the coalition is in war situation, but not with Iraqis but with terrorism on the land of Iraq. So all we have to do is to help the good guys to win this war fast, at least by staying safe and away of the hot areas. May be many of us are trying to say it’s not our war why should we bear so much….. Well the war against the terrorism is responsibility of the entire world, and now we are playing our part in it.
