This
dream, The Hanoudi Letter would have never seen the light without the
encouragement, enthusiasm and the unlimited support of three
outstanding persons, a prominent broadcaster and writer, a young very
intelligent officer and one of my nephews a very young computer expert,
to this magnificent trio I am forever in debt and very grateful.
I
am a 70 years old ophthalmologist with a long history in clinical ophthalmology, teaching and health administration. I have been
abroad many times to medical conferences and to lecture to various
centers especially in Britain, for the last 15 years I have been doing
less medicine and more reading and writing, I have already written
three books on the philosophy of history, a second one on Saddam
Hussein and his regime and a third on the diabetic complications in the
human retina but none of them have seen the light, I have never been
able to publish the publishing world seems to be a very well knit
family which cares only about its progeny, so I decided to try putting
my views and ideas about few subjects which are of a special interest
to me, history, geopolitics, ethnic-religious conflicts and the current
situation in this country in a weekly personal letter of about 600-800
words which could be viewed on the internet from thehanoudiletter web
site:
This
is not going to be a news bulletin in the classical sense, it is a
personal medium by which I am trying to present my opinions and
analyses on questions related to the subjects I have just mentioned.
But I am certain that news about the situation in this country will
force itself on the project because of the dangers it is posing to our
very existence. The current situation in Iraq is very serious and
extremely dangerous, the increasing frustrations and disappointments of
the people with the unfulfilled American promises regarding the
reconstruction and rehabilitation of this country is creating a very
hostile environment and a very serious resistance to their presence to
which they are responding very harshly and aggressively is increasing
the resent and opposition and creating a very dangerous vicious circle
which is making the future very bleak indeed.
You, my reader,
please be patient and tolerant. I am bound to make a lot of mistakes
about which I beg to be treated kindly and judiciously corrected, we
are in a very serious mess and I am personally living a very painful
tragedy which I will be telling you about a bit more in a future letter.
Dr. Najeeb Hanoudi
