“Good Reason To Be Thankful You Live Anywhere Else!”
Dear TeamDiamond how are you all, Barry what an exciting news cant wait for 2007 to see the presentation, Iam emailing you guys to tell you that Iam fine and in good health ,Iraq is now more dangerous than before due to Saddam trial , and now we are not allowed to leave home by 8pm sometimes we are not allowed to be in street at all due to security reason also we have day that we are only allowed to use the car that carry registration with an even number !! so if your car has an odd number you are not allowed to take it to the road electricity available 2 or 3 hours a day only , petrol prices are soo expensive even more expensive than NZ , we depend all time on generator but cannot use every appiliance at home due to the limit in power supplied by the generator you see people got kidnapped infront of your face and you cannot do anything , its like when Mafia in old days do their business infront of you and you have no right to interfere not even the police . when I go out I have to escort with me at least 2 people or I will not be safe , soo many things need to learn to survive in Iraq, Gov should at least provide a guid book for that , my family dont allow me to go outside as much as my relative do cause they thing I dont know how to behave the way I should to survive … one of the thump rule is when you go outside I should not stay longer than 30 minute in one place to prevent any kidnapp attempt , a Gun in my pocket is as important as carrying a cellphone in NZ , even if there is no bullet inside just showing that you carry one is enough to stop some people from taken advantage on you ! Iraq is like a cowboy western movie , soldiers are every where , they left alone and hungry , some of them knock on our door asking us if we can sell them some food and drink because thy dont supply them food all time and they have to buy from the local houses . I wonder if Iraq will ever consider a country after all , seen and hear about Iraq was nothing comparing when you actually live in ….. alright I wish you all the best ……….go to leave the internet Zane
