Today was one more deadly day in Iraq. Five suicide car bombs claimed the lives of more than 100 innocent Iraqis. People did nothing wrong but being at the wrong place at the wrong time. As we Muslims say, its their destiny which took them there where they lived their last moments, the moments before their bodies turn into small parts flying in the air because of the birds of death sent by some human brutes. Those who were lucky were wounded but still alive. The news talk about more than 400 people wounded and I am sure dozens of them lost some of their organs but they will accept that because at least they are alive. Others who were luckier survived but they will live for a while with the image of death dancing in their minds and dreams. It is not nice dancing in any way.
Our politician again competed in showing their regret and sorrow for the great loss. Statements of condolence were issued by many parties and officials but will these statements bring those who died back to life? Our unique parliament gathered (of course not all of it and never dream about it) and they started accusing what they call (Parties or Sides) they did not want to name. Of course, Baath party was always present. It was accused to ally with Qaeda to plan and implement these attacks. Of course they did not forget to give a name to the day. They called it the bloody Tuesday. Now we have the Bloody Sunday, the Bloody Tuesday and the Bloody Wednesday. People almost forgot that we already had a Bloody Friday when many mosques were attacks and so many innocent people died. I am afraid that with such weak security procedures we would have more bloody days and our politicians would not find names.
Within two or three days, our politicians will forget the victims of the Bloody Tuesday because they will be busy with the election campaign. They will give promises to control the security situation, to provide jobs and to improve life and services in Iraq. These promises will evaporate the moment they become lawmakers and all they think about will be their personal interests. All they are going to give us more names for more bad days in our BLOODY LIFE in our BLOODY IRAQ.
Rest In Peace Our Dear Brothers. You Will Be Always In Our Hearts and Minds.

It is entirely possible to think that this is how the world ended on its very first day. The beauty of the setting sun, which takes a long, slow time at this upper curve of our ever-so-slightly egg-shaped world, would have made the first creatures’ eyes widen in surprise and finally delight.

The ARPANET was one of the "eve" networks of today's Internet. In an independent development, Donald Davies at the UK National Physical Laboratory also discovered the concept of packet switching in the early 1960s, first giving a talk on the subject in 1965, after which the teams in the new field from two sides of the Atlantic ocean first became acquainted. It was actually Davies' coinage of the wording "packet" and "packet switching" that was adopted as the standard terminology. Davies also built a packet switched network in the UK called the Mark I in 1970

Is'nt enough enough? Can't the stop the war and bring the US troops home now? The birth rate is down 50%. We don't want to lose the world. Save the world now. The people that died had loved ones. All people are important regardless of religion.

This is a crime against innocent people and our politicians politicize and trivialize it by identifying who they think the perpetrators within minutes. It is time our politicians understand that their actions serve the real perpetrators and divide the country.

The Maliki government is a farce. Just last week it said that they had succeeded in reducing violence in Iraq. I know the numbers have been lower, but we've had two well coordinated attacks that have killed over a hundred people in as many months. This violence clearly stems from corruption and incompetence in both the government and the police force - and this begins with the prime minister. We need a change here in Iraq. That's why I'm supporting Ayad Jamal Aldin and his Ahrar Party in the coming elections. He is a man of integrity and will solve our corruption problems and bring security to Iraq.

John Donne said it better than I can, so I'll leave his poem below, with the simple addition that I sorrow for those lost and those who lost them. Thank you, Laith, for again keeping this at the human level. It's too easy to stay abstract and avoid facing what people go through. You don't let that happen.
No man is an island entire of itself; every man
is a piece of the continent, a part of the main;
if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe
is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as
well as any manner of thy friends or of thine
own were; any man's death diminishes me,
because I am involved in mankind.
And therefore never send to know for whom
the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.
