Yet, what is also shocking is that in North America, reporting on Iraq is almost nil, just a blip here and there. THe continuing deaths and other horrors don't even rate a mention most days.<br /><br />In Saddam Hussein's day, he instituted state feminism. Today, thanks to Western democracy, women are afraid to go out, they are more compelled to wear hijab in public when they do go out because of the extremist Iranian backed and American supported conservative regime in power. Also, now there is a lot of trafficking of women, rapes, more than when the dictator torturer Hussein was in power. So, this American help seems a terrible disaster.northshorewomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07390144327668656601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-990527249720913076.post-34998027849240441132010-02-11T08:40:27.545-08:002010-02-11T08:40:27.545-08:00The loss of population in Iraq is enormous if you ...The loss of population in Iraq is enormous if you take into account as well 1980-1988 war, Persian Gulf war and massacres of Saddam Hussein. The Iraq nation has been suffering very much during last 30 years. The number of dead at those earlier wars was anyhow smaller than after 2003. Perhaps Barack Obama thinks that he has to murder much more citizens of Iraq for getting another Nobel.Arinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-990527249720913076.post-91459504582063022522010-02-10T07:33:42.897-08:002010-02-10T07:33:42.897-08:00Yes, killing never seems to stop, whether that is ...Yes, killing never seems to stop, whether that is on a mass scale through state terrorism or through groups of militant-minded men in power struggles with each other or then individuals who perpetrate crimes on other individuals--or animals as the example you gave, people who just kill for killing sakes. <br /><br />I need to read Dostoievsky. I am sure there are many wisdoms in his writing. <br /><br />By the way, I showed your friend Mona's art series on Scheherazad to one of my classes to help explain the multiple stories that continue to be told of this most famous female narrator of the story of stories. They enjoyed her visual renderings, her interpretation of everyday Arab women Scheherazades.<br /><br />Merche, I wonder if our government will issue any statements about these violences? They will couch whatever they say in euphemisms. This way Canadians can continue their everyday lives with nothing bothering their consciences.northshorewomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07390144327668656601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-990527249720913076.post-55188932026017972222010-02-08T23:44:25.108-08:002010-02-08T23:44:25.108-08:00Very hard to digest what you say but so true...

Read Dostoievsky and his take on the human race. <br />By the way, my friend the artist Mona Dabaji sent me a petition to sign: it basically shows the mass killing of dolphins in Denmark (so-called civilized country) by teen-agers as a ritual of passage of sorts. With lots of photos, it is gory.tasteofbeiruthttp://www.tasteofbeirut.comnoreply@blogger.com
