If I Had The Power To Change Iraq

I was thinking about this at the same time a suicidal woman took a taxi and blew herself up in an Iraqi army checkpoint, killing herself, the taxi driver and many innocents who were beside that taxi, leaving many dead bodies, a few taxi parts and her damned head rolling in the street…no Iraqi soldiers were killed in that explosion, just innocent people. According to the American investigators she was 25 years old!

It's a real irony that I was thinking about the best ways to stop all this madness and that explosion happened. A while later, there was another crime which is much uglier than the suicidal woman. It was a female doctor that I indirectly know; she was in the fourth year of ophthalmology board and was living with her mother because her father is a consultant of the Yemeni president (they were staying here because the doctor was waiting to finish her degree and they would go to Yemen after). The doctor and her mother were at home - it was noon when gunmen entered their house, stabbed and drilled them a million times and then they tied them to chairs and burned them.

No one knows the real reason behind this crime, and it's hard to know the details in Iraq about a murder that involved women because of honor. But I know one thing…the people who did this aren't human at all.

Explosions and bullets are something that doesn't stop these days. The situation is back to what it used to be this same time last year: explosions are everywhere, if not twice at the same place in the same day.
