Healing Iraq

I'm sure everyone agrees that war, any war, is horrible and is certainly not a fun experience. But this war was different, not in it's form, but in what it was about. I was somehow convinced that this will be our final war, our mother of all battles. Even Saddam correctly described it as 'hawassim', The Decisive. During the months before the war, I was very nervous that Bush would suddenly decide not to go to war. I had endless debates with friends about it and at work. Of course there was always someone against it, either out of fear of losing his position or previleges, those were mainly Baa'thists, or out of genuine concern over his family, friends,.. But I was for it.

This is a great site, run by a 24 year old dentist in Baghdad -- spend a liitle time there.
