my dear friend, if i can call you so even if we never met, although there's very little I can do from here, I want you to know that in spite of its reduction to audiovisual noise on our TV screens, we feel for you and your countrymen. What is happening to you should have never happened and could happen to any country. Words seem useless and pointless, actions seem limited. That's the only reason why people like me are no longer posting comments. But that does not mean that we do not feel close to you and you are not in our thoughts and hearts. I keep telling people, putting pressure on my government, informing and keeping the attention on what is going on there. It should have never happened, I hope and I try to act, in small ways, so that it will be over soon.
much love

Everything is evaluated from perspecftive. Here 0.89 per gallon
(350 ID) is not a bad deal. Last saw that price in the 80s I think.
Things are bad there and will get worse before getting better. This is a required catharsis; just pray that al-maliki holds the course. Time is on the side of the majority and its desire for peace and prosperity.
Zappy, if you live in Adhamiya, could you please tell us what is happening there? Last I heard you were under attack by various forces. Are you OK? What's the news?
Zappy:
Just picked thiis up on "portal Iraq"
one liter of gasoline, 125 Iraqi dinars (ID);
one liter of kerosene, 25 ID;
one gas cylinder 1,000 ID;
one liter of benzene, 350 ID.
Is this one of those cases where official pricing means nothing?
Aren't we supposed to be sitting on pools of oil? Where the heck did they go? The Holy Pockets of our not-so-holy government? (not in the form of oil, obviously!)
