Irakere om krigen og livet i dag
Manden bag den irakiske blog Treasure of Baghdad har stillet fire spørgsmål til 24 irakiske bloggere. De fire spørgsmål er: Hvornår begyndte du at blogge, hvordan har dine synspunkter ændret sig siden da, hvad er forskellen på Irak før og efter krigen, og var invasionen og krigen det hele værd?
Der er meget delte meninger om, hvorvidt krigen var en god ting, værd at støtte og til syvende og sidst det hele værd, men på ét punkt er der lammende enighed, nemlig det tredje spørgsmål.
Således f.eks. Micho La Jolie Fille:
Before the war, we used to live better. All Iraqis in all ages were able to live normally like going to schools, having the feeling that we have a future and a goal that encourages us to move forward. We used to hang out with family and friends on holidays everywhere. The human being by nature is social and cannot live alone. We used to go out safe as there was no killings, assassinations or sectarian differences like what is happening now. There was no fear or loss. Now fear haunted all of us with no exceptions. We cannot go out during the day or night. After the war, Iraq became a place for ghosts, blood, murder and destruction. There is no hope in life. Nothing encourages us to be hopeful. We feel tired and lost. There is no future.Link til enqueten hos Treasure of Baghdad.
