http://baghdadkassakhoon.blogspot.com/2011/12/can-iraqis-forgive-america.html
Sunday, 18 December 2011. Can Iraqis forgive America? A cartoon in an Iraqi newspaper shows an Iraqi man shouting on a withdrawing U.S. soldier to take with him sectarianism, corruption and federalism. America is withdrawing from Iraq. Eventually! To those who say the was is ended and use the words "pride" and "success" whenever talk about the war especially Barack Obama, I say: YOU ARE WRONG AND YOU WANT ONLY TO FOUL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. American people, you are still supporting this war since you are h...

Baghdad's Kassakhoon: Hope not to see more than these two things
http://baghdadkassakhoon.blogspot.com/2011/04/hope-not-see-more-than-these-two-things.html
Friday, 1 April 2011. Hope not to see more than these two things. It was early 2003 when I first saw these heavy things that cover the torso and the head to protect them from bullets and shrapnel.Since then, the flak jackets and helmets have become a vital part of our life; either we wear them from time to time or see people wear them. Some of those who depended on the flak jackets and helmets, including my employer, are now sending them to colleagues in Syria, Jordan, Yemen, Egypt, Tunisia, Bahrain and ...

Baghdad's Kassakhoon: It's time to buy that one-way ticket, other voice says.
http://baghdadkassakhoon.blogspot.com/2014/08/its-time-to-buy-that-one-way-ticket.html
Thursday, 28 August 2014. It's time to buy that one-way ticket, other voice says. Only immigration door is open for Iraqis. Source: Al-Mada Newspaper. No other choice is left for Iraqis who still live on this cursed land only to leave. I have been lying to myself all these years that the country would be better. I acknowledge that I was wrong. Amid all that, the fate of Baghdad where I live is still unclear. Who will grab it, how and when? This is the big question in the minds of its residents. The eldes...

Baghdad's Kassakhoon: Other tings are not important!
http://baghdadkassakhoon.blogspot.com/2011/12/other-tings-are-not-important.html
Tuesday, 6 December 2011. Other tings are not important! I'm still not exactly sure why I decided to hit the road few days ago to Iraq's revered southern Shiite province of Najaf to see for the first time in my life Grand Ayatollah Ali Al-Sistani, the most revered Shiite cleric by many Shiites inside and outside Iraq. Was it my curiosity as a journalist to see the man who has been politically influential and has had his fingerprints on Iraq's political landscape since 2003 U.S.-led invasion? Did the Shii...

Baghdad's Kassakhoon: 08/11/14
http://baghdadkassakhoon.blogspot.com/2014_08_11_archive.html
Monday, 11 August 2014. Boosting morale or addressing evil inside us? I really can't take it anymore as dozens of pro-government songs that glorify the wars and death flooding the State and pro-Prime Minister TVs all the day and underlining the culture of violence in our society. Whenever I watch a clip and listen to the lyrics I feel snakes coming out from the singers' mouths to whisper in our ears: "Take up the arms quickly otherwise you will be killed.". In that song, called. Therefore, you can find t...
