No Country for Good Men
Iraq nowdays February 28th, 2008Yesterday, the most loved person in Baghdad got even more loved. The minister of Electricity, Dr.Kareem Al-Aboudi, and his group of gangsters (his bodyguards), have encountered a minor incident and dealt with it the way things are handled in Iraq.
As he and his gangsters were passing by a police convoy, in the eastern part of Baghdad, and it seems like the police convoy got too close to them and the gangsters opened fire on the police cars. And then they got off their cars and the gangsters started kicking the police as*..!!!
They broke the hand of one police captain and ripped his uniform off and bashed the head of another police captain. And the most loved person (the minister) was looking as so were other people in the street.
This was not the first encounter of this type, not for this minister nor for the other ministers or officials.
I wonder when Al-Maliki is going to do the changes he promised more than a year ago. I wonder what his gangsters would do if he had to live outside the green zone?

Nadia,
When everyone in a government position feels that the law does not apply to him/her, no one can stop them. As we say in Arabic “Itha lam tasta7i f isna3 ma she’t”, If you can’t feel ashamed, do whatever you like.
