Giving Tree Posted March 24, 2003 Author Share Posted March 24, 2003 " I went up to the roof to take a look I saw that there were too many of them, we heard only three explosions. I took pictures of the nearest. My cousine came and told me he saw police cars standing by one and setting it on fire" "today my father and brother went out to see what happening in the city, they say that it does look that the hits were very precise but when the missiles and bombs explode they wreck havoc in the neighborhood where they fall. Houses near al-salam palace(where the minister Sahaf took journalist) have had all their windows broke, doors blown in and in one case a roof has caved in. I guess that is what is called “collateral damage” and that makes it OK?" "Today before noon I went out with my cousin to take a look at the city. Two things. 1) the attacks are precise. 2) they are attacking targets which are just too close to civilian areas in Baghdad." "I saw a very unexpected “target” it is an officers’ club of some sorts smack in the middle of [………] district. I guess it was not severely hit because it was still standing but the houses around it, and this is next door and across the street, were damaged. One of them is rubble the rest are clearing away glass and rubble. A garbage car stands near the most damaged houses and help with the cleaning up." "Generally the streets are quite busy. Lots of cars but not many shops open. The market near our house is almost empty now. The shop owner says that all the wholesale markets in Shorjah are closed now but the prices of vegetables and fruits have gone down to normal and are available." "If Um Qasar is so difficult to control what will happen when they get to Baghdad? It will turn uglier and this is very worrying. People (and I bet “allied forces”) were expecting things to be mush easier. There are no waving masses of people welcoming the Americans nor are they surrendering by the thousands. People are oing what all of us are, sitting in their homes hoping that a bomb doesn’t fall on them and keeping their doors shut." thats just a small bit.. really.. just read it. im not anti-war by any means, but this really hit me hard..

HELLSATAN Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 but my mother is starting to eye my collection of scented candles anyway. So you can anticipate the scene- hundreds of bombs flying overhead, the deafening sound of planes, blended with murmured prayers, in a semi-dark room smelling faintly of… lavender. And that smell will forever be consecrated in my mind along with the rest of the ‘war memories’- candles, duct tape, kerosene lamps and lavender… sad or funny ? who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giving Tree Posted March 24, 2003 Author Share Posted March 24, 2003 well like that they were duct taping their windows weeks before we "the media's public" ever concidered war.. they knew. this poor guy-girl- whatever.. there is a huge controversy if this is a real person.. who knows. they are so popular right now that they are like 98 percent of the traffic on the server and is even copied on a few other pages.. its real sad, if its a prank/lie.. thats sick. if not.. i seriously hold a great deal of fear in my heart for that person.
