Wednesday, 10 January 2007 14:37 |
Saddam Hussein died during the early hours of Saturday, December 30, 2006. The condemned ex-president arrived at the site were he would be executed, a military complex which housed during his reign the offices of the military intelligence the complex is located in a dominantly Shia district, al-Kadhimia. Saddam was wearing a black suit under a black overcoat. He has been delivered to the custody of the Iraqi authorities by the Americans few minutes earlier and was led to the execution chambers by three masked men in the presence of few authorized men. The death penalty which was delivered late November has been verified by the special appeals court on Tuesday November 26, 2006, it was final and stipulated that the execution had to be done within a month, the appeals court's decision stirred a fevered speculation as to when it would be conducted but on Friday, December 30th, the speculation reached a very high pitch and many people were claiming that it was very imminent. Saddam was hanged Saturday December 30, 2006 at 6:10 AM, Saddam had finally gone, and we were promised that his end would usher in a new beginning and the end of the torture of the country and the nightmare of its people.

The Hanoudi Letter: The Second Anniversary |
|
Thursday, 21 December 2006 10:29 |
During these holy and fragrant days of Christmas I beg you my friends, brothers and sisters to share with me a prayer to the mighty God to look with his boundless kindness on this tortured land and its anguished people and lift them in his merciful hands from the terrible nightmare they are enduring this Christmas. This coincides with the second anniversary of the launching of The Hanoudi Letter, which reminds me of my worries in the beginning over its usefulness and its chances of survival. Now after two years online, I am very proud of the modest success it has gained, a success which would have been impossible without your generous support and love. I am greatly indebted to you and I wish you all a merry Christmas and a very happy and a very successful and prosperous new year.

The Bush Administration, the Iraqi Quagmire and Baker's Report |
|
Monday, 04 December 2006 14:10 |
It is very lonely when you grow old, but you are also very vulnerable if you are living now in Iraq like me. I have been here for a bit more than seven moths and in spite of the dangers which are posed by this stay I feel very strongly attracted to the place, the currently unfolding events in this country are nothing but historical. I am also enjoying the modest professional help I am providing to the victims of the incredible violence which is engulfing the country. A very good American friend, a prominent radio journalist an intelligent and a very decent woman told me after the recent atrocious attack on the offices belonging to the ministry of higher education during which dozens of employees and visitors were abducted most of whom are still unaccounted for told me that my staying was senseless and provoking fate. I am still around alas I feel very lonely and vulnerable in spite what I have just said about the unfolding history and the great enjoyment provided by my professional work.

No arm of the sea has been, or is of greater interest alike to geologists, archaeologists, historians, geographers, merchants or the students of strategy than the inland water known as the gulf. The story of the gulf area stretches back thousands of years to the early stirrings of man's civilization, here in southern Iraq on the topmost part of the gulf in a piece of land 70,000 kms in size. Humans settled in this land after thousands of centuries of wandering and hunting, built cities, domesticated animals and invented writing and began history a process which within a very short time blossomed into the astonishingly beautiful flower, the Sumerian Civilization which lasted for more than a thousand years. But on both sides of the gulf the relationships between its various settlers was very often very uneasy and greatly strained because of cultural and religious conflicts, which have been ongoing for centuries had to a very great extent shaped its present. Nowadays the Gulf's strategic significance centers on two features, its location and its oil.
