28 April - Blogs I'm Following

Before I get into the routine report : I happened to notice something that perked me right up. If you look at the writers of A Family in Baghdad you might notice a style of writing familiar from  Baghdad Burning
I wasn't going to argue with Wikipedia but I believe Faiza al-Araji is Riverbend delivering her accustomed pithy observations.

What happens in wars and occupations?
The system collapses especially if the invader comes from a foreign country aiming to weaken the country and subject it under its military and political control. They start to spread discriminating ideas among community factions that lived as one unit in the past. They are addressed differently now. Power must be divided among all these factions. The wealth must be divided among all these factions as well. As a result, a new era of conflict and differences has started and leaders surfaced for each faction to participate in this conflict…

Hard strokes have been directed to rip the unified community infrastructure and dissemble this beautiful unified system.

Thus the role of local, hypocrite and opportunist leaders that used to live in the dark is becoming more distinct. No one knows these leaderships and no one acknowledges it. It’s time for this leadership to take the stand under the light spot and claim that it is the nation’s legal representative and its public speaker. Therefore, it enters the election process strongly and wins with the highest numbers of votes regardless of used methods. The occupier prepares all logistics requirement to grant this leadership local and international legality status. That way the nation and the world buy this lie… and these retarded, hypocrite, opportunists, ethnic and sectarian leaders are the legal representative for their citizens and will make up for the oppression that people have been subjected to in the past and will elevate their status and will…and will…and will…

Years then pass by and the people discover that nothing is achieved and that these leaderships are liars, dictators, oppressors and a bunch of thieves, but who can take them out of power now?
A new phase of conflict starts between the people and the corrupted leaderships. Of course under normal circumstances, people can take those leaders out of power easily via civil or military methods. But the presence of an occupier as a powerful party in the country deprives people from their freedom to take action. Military is not as independent as it was in the past. The local national leaders will not have the same effect influence in the community to rehabilitate and change…
The country go through and endless spin and will lose hope because there is no balance of power on earth.
People start to lose hope and withdraw from this worthless spin that exhausts their life, efforts, ambitions and dreams.
This is exactly what is happening now between Iraqis who live inside Iraq. When you ask someone, how do you perceive the future of Iraq?
The answer always would be: There is no future, Iraq is gone and will never come back as long as they are still here.
This answer hurts me and takes my breath away. I can’t blame them and I can’t ask them what they mean by “they”. Do they mean the new Iraqi political leaders or the occupier forces? Or do they mean both?
