has been a horrible day. We have awakened because of unbearable heat. Our area has an average of 4 hours of electricity a day and the rest is supplied by the generator, which means that we can use ceiling fans, but there is no way for us to use air conditioners. We woke
sinister silence, an indication that the generator was not working. E. went to the neighbor's door to check, and got the confirmation. Might not be running all day. The neighbor responsible for it would bring the "doctor of the generators" as soon as it became available.
The power supply back only twenty minutes before 6 pm, as if they laughed at us. The moment the lights flickered, we gather in the kitchen and could hear the howling and shouting with joy of the neighborhood children.
Before that we heard the news about the hostages lot of Salhiya area of \u200b\u200bBaghdad. Salhiya is a busy area where many travel agencies have offices. Has been particularly busy since the war because everyone who wants to leave to Jordan and Syria made a reservation from one or another office in the area.
According to people who live and work in the area, about 15 police cars stopped in the area and uniformed men started catching civilians in the streets and in their cars, giving them a packet at the head and pushing them into police cars. Anyone who tried to oppose, or beat him and pushed him inside a car. It is estimated that the total number of people who were taken is about 50.
This has been happening all over Iraq. Mystery Men from the Ministry of Interior civil assault and taken away. Only that has not happened to many people at once. What is disturbing is that the Iraqi Ministry of Interior has denied having anything to do with the latest mass detention (which is the last pattern, why get involved with human rights organizations about mass arrests, torture and murder?! Stick to deny it!). Not a good sign, means that these people will probably be found dead in a few days. We pray to live again ...
Another part of the news was particularly bad during the day, later. Several students riding a school bus were killed in the Dora area. Nobody knows why. It is not clear. Were they Sunni? Were they Shia? Most likely, they were mixed ... Leaving the final exam, having been up the night before to study the heat. When they left their homes, probably only worried about whether they would condone or suspended. Her parents leave with words of encouragement and prayer. Now will never return home.
are ongoing ethnic cleansing and it is impossible to deny. It is killing people according to their ID card. Extremists on both sides make their lives miserable. Some work for "Zarqawi", and others to the Iraqi Interior Ministry. We hear kill Shiites in the "Sunni Triangle" and corpses of Sunnis who call Omar (a Sunni name) arriving by the dozen at the Baghdad morgue. I never thought I would miss the car bombs. At least one car bomb is indiscriminate. Because you're not looking for you Sunni or Shia.
Still no ministers in key ministries (defense and interior). Iraq is falling apart and Maliki and his team are still discussing who should get more power, who is more qualified to oppress Iraqis with the help of foreign occupiers? Above is the rumor that the Iraqi parliament will vacation during July and August. They are so tired of arguing and fighting for power, they need to take a couple of months to rest. Leave their well-guarded home for two months, and spend some time abroad with their families (who can no longer live in Iraq, are too precious for that!)
Where does one for prevent death and destruction? Are Americans happy with this progress? Bush insists Still we progress?
