LETTER FROM A CRIPPLED BAGHDAD

by Allen L Roland     Page 2 of 2 page(s)

Tell A Friend

My sons wife, who is also a doctor, has to go to another hospital just to try to assist since there is a drastic lack of Gynecologists. She stays in her hospital for three days continuously before my son picks her up with his car on the fourth day to bring her home, in order to insure her safety so she doesn't have to take a bus or taxi.

As for my daughter, she has not passed out the doorway of this apartment where we are staying for the last week except for one time for some work she had to accomplish.

My wife left here only once, when she went to her job (which she has been on leave from since we left to Syria) in order to apply for a full year vacation. Thank God she got it.

As for me, I found my car ruined, so I had to repair it. For that I called the mechanic to come to my home and repair it, since I couldn
't take the car to him since all the mechanics shops are closed and there is no place to have a car repaired. All of those shops are totally closed.

When I saw the mechanic he said, " We cannot live here anymore, and there is no job we can find."

Dahr, this short letter gives you just a glance of the current situation in Baghdad. With the next letter I will tell you some more.

Extremely sad and disheartening

Stealing Iraqi oil leases to enrich the richest corporations in history spreads misery, suffrering, and despair.  This war is a FAILURE by every proper measure.   How sad it is to see the Bush Administration drag America into fascism, defeat, and monstrous debt.  May our collective failure to stop the inevitable collateral damage caused by an illegal aggressive "pre-emptive" atrocious war be forgiven by a loving God.  It is very sad to say that Saddam Hussein gave those poor Iraqis better security and quality of life than we will ever be able to provide.  Even a poor leader would be forced to re-evaluate his strategy at this point.

REPLY TO OPTIMAL

Even a poor leader would be forced to re-evaluate his strategy at this point.

True, Optimal ~ but we are talking about an oblivious leader here who is incapable of understanding the consequences of his actions and answers only to his personal ' Old Testament ' God of wrath and Judgement.

Humanity has failed

This is beyond sad.  This is barbaric madness.  Each of us as a part of the human race is responsible at some level.  God (source) forgive US for we know not what we do.
