Iraqi's speak of things that you don't hear in our media. It didn't take me long to find actual eyewitness accounts of what is happening on the streets of Baghdad. This is some of what I found: A newly married Iranian woman that calls herself "A Neurotic Iraqi" writes about A "Nation of The Damned"; A hundred Indian rupees is about $2.27. An Iraqi is now worth less than that. Yes, Iraqi blood has become so cheap that even haggling is not worth the effort. Bravo humans of the world. Bravo to everyone who talks about humanity and human rights. Bravo to you, the so called honourable neighbours of Iraq. Bravo to United States and Britian. Bravo to all of you for lending a helping hand.
To be an Iraqi today equates to someone carrying a fatal contagious virus. No body wants you, no body wants to help you, no body wants to be near you, no body wants to touch you. To be an Iraqi today, you have to get used to "friendly" neighbouring countries slamming their doors in your face. To be an Iraqi today, you have to fend for yourself, for you are alone, alone in a world that preaches human rights, yet do nothing, nothing to save you. Nothing to save you from a mortar, a rocket, a suicide bomb, a militia gang, a bullet. Nothing to save you from the savages that are eating your flesh while youre still alive.

Scenes from Baghdad
Iraqi Streets Filled with Dead
A view of the dozens of corpses lying in the streets of Baghdad, often for weeks. These scenes of Iraq's civil war have become such a daily part of people's lives so much that they don't bother to remove the bodies. Those were taken in Adhamiya a month ago and the victims were judged as "strangers" or "spies" before they were shot and thrown with the garbage in the street. People in the neighbourhood just covered them with blankets and moved on. Those bodies are rarely counted in the daily death toll, and when they are counted they're just "unknown corpses."
From Last Night
The words of Iranian's can sound almost as if they could have come from the heart of an American writer, the words and style so familiar, but the description is Iranian:
In recent days, as Mr. Bush's camp have heightened their pro-war rhetoric and activities, there has been increasing alarm among Iranian activists, journalists, and/or intellectuals that Mr. Bush is seriously preparing for an all-out bombing of Iran. Former State official Wayne White, who has seen the planning, claims that this will be a devastating and broad based attack; "You're not talking about a surgical strike", he emphasized.
There is so much more to see. I got these clips from blogs at Liberal Oasis under "Get Iraqi Blogged", and "Get Iran Blogged". If you haven't checked these blogs out you should. It would give you a little perspective from the other side. One more thing, I tried to get a video of a Humvee driving down a street in Iraq pushing other cars out of the way by smacking them in the rear. It's here on this link: http://benevis-dige.blogspot.com/
Well, that's it for me. Have a nice Sunday afternoon.

Had been....
Following some of the news reporting, had read about the trials and tribulations of the people who collect the Garbage from the city streets, how "doing your job" can cost you your life. War is Hell, living in a War Zone is living in Hell on Earth, Earth which is also Known as Paradise, case anyone forgot it's original purpose. Good research ...keep going. by Mr. Robin Parsons (1 articles, 1 quicklinks, 4 diaries, 64 comments) on Sunday, Feb 18, 2007 at 8:06:59 PM (0+)

Snips
This article makes me sick, a sickness that is untreatable, a sickness of the soul. I can only explain it to myself as the depraved activites of an addict. A party so far gone that they've lost all humanity. Nothing is of any importance but the next fix. It is the be all and end all of their world and their sick lives. I'm speaking of America the biggest oil addict in the world. They will kill, maim, rape and pillage to protect their stash, their next fix. I wish there was a large enough institution in which to commit every American, to prevent them from hurting others forever. by Archie (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 1757 comments [112 recommended, 0 rejected]) on Sunday, Feb 18, 2007 at 11:37:03 PM (0+)

Crying for Iraq
I am crying for the Iraqis. Mostly very good people. We have started a project: Monument of Hope combined with an Institute of Hope to be set up in Iraqi cities. Let us see if we can reach some momentum? by Sympathetically OpenMinded (1 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 7 comments) on Monday, Feb 19, 2007 at 11:19:05 AM (0+)

Thanks for this article. (it is raw Truth)
Its ugly, but it is True. We can handle the Truth although they want to make us think that we can't. I've seen and experienced a few things that will haunt me until death mainly because I don't know how to share it and those I try to share it with don't want to hear it. We need to hear and see this because even if we did not participate, it has been done in our name. We pay for it and we allow it to happen. Its ugly and we need to stop it. by Sleeper (1 articles, 1 quicklinks, 15 diaries, 312 comments [6 recommended, 0 rejected]) on Tuesday, Feb 20, 2007 at 6:58:32 PM (0+)

In reference to this line
Quote: "One more thing, I tried to get a video of a Humvee driving down a street in Iraq pushing other cars out of the way by smacking them in the rear. " (A Snippet from your article) The reason(s) why they are driving like that is in self protection, as any of the 'other' cars you can see they could-potentially be a suicide car bomber, someone with an IED (Improvised Explosive Device) or an EFP (Explosive Force Penetrator) such that, as Military Personel in a War Zone (Urban Warfare) they are driving in a manner that is compliant with their 'orders' hence it is as to protect themselves from getting Boxed in, by traffic and/or even city Buses, and therefore into a situation that could literally become 'explosive/deadly' all to quickly. It is in the 'manner' of Urban Warfare, like having military personel patolling your city in traffic, that is 'what they do' and 'how they do it' as to protect themselves first. by Mr. Robin Parsons (1 articles, 1 quicklinks, 4 diaries, 64 comments) on Friday, Feb 23, 2007 at 3:37:51 PM (0+)

It is pictures like these...
