Today's piece on what the Iraqis are thinking

At Last

This article is posted from a real free Iraq. I have waited till the 1st of July to post this just to have something to say about the Iraqis and what they think about what happened since 28th of June 2004 till now……… Iraqis are really happy with their independence day, because they didn’t believe they would have their freedom back……….Iraqis have been feeling their freedom gone since the early eighties, Actually they lost freedom way before that but they didn’t feel it.

While the local radio stations where saying that the sovereignty were transferred to Iraqi government two days before the appointed day, I was on my way to Abo Ghraib town to pay the salaries to our company’s employees in one of the sites there, and believe me since that moment till now I can feel happiness on the faces of Iraqis,…… for me I wasn’t the most happy person and that’s because I was sure it will happen sooner or later and I was feeling free since the 9th of April 2003, and I really enjoyed my freedom since then and still enjoying it. So it wasn’t a big surprise for me but I am happy for the people.

Its only three days now and the Iraqi TV stations are reporting about the heroic activities of the IPs and how they arrested hundreds of criminals in many places of Baghdad and they are sending them to Abo Ghraib jail where nobody would set them free any more because there are Arab reporters would say that Americans are arresting the Iraqi occupation resistance. These are IPs arresting Iraqi criminals whom we (Iraqis) know just when we look at them. That’s what would make the difference from now on.

A neighbor asked me yesterday

“What do you think its going to happen for our future?”, the man was worried and asking.

So I said “Let me ask you this, What’s our main problems?”,

He said “security…..we want our children to be safe”,

I said “it took the terrorists about a year to be stronger and started their terrorism …….how long do you think it would take the government to build a strong IPs and security forces with all the help we are getting from all the world and working day light not in the dark only”,

He said “should be less than a year”

“Then all we need is that year time plus our cooperation with the government” I said.

You cant imagine how the man burst with happiness all he needed is to know facts, Iraqis now know that the Arab media are the enemy and we don’t believe what they say, but knowing the bright side of the story is another important matter which is the duty of all Iraqis who know it, starting with the government ending with all educated wise people who can take role in rebuilding the mentality of the Iraqi people to start rebuilding Iraq.

We will need help from all our friends and allies to overtake the critical time we are living, and we can’t forget the help and support we obtained from them till now.

But as I knew that we would be free about a year ago I know at this moment that we would be a safe advanced peaceful democratic country heading to prosperity, and model for all countries in the ME region……………..God Bless Iraq.
