ELECTIONS

After many days of waiting to the election day,voting for the candidates began this morning. Cars were banned last night and many roads that lead to the election centres were closed by barbed wires and army vhecles.
With the begining of the voting many explosions occurred in Baghdad.news were about falling many mortar in many districts in the city including Adamyah,Al-adil,Palestine street,Ur and many other places in a wave of attacks. Baghdad is not secured.
Two days ago we heard about threatens by some terrorists to not participate in the elections and today some people were not allowed to participate in some places like Abu Ghreib because the guarding army for those centres that belongs to the 6th unit didn’t allow people to do so as the habitants said.
With all the fears of going to vote,Iraqis insist on democracy to stop violence and choose Iraqi citizens to represent them

Here is the card that will allow me to vote



Im going to the election centre in an hour.

Who is Responsible????????

Another crime.more myrters,many innocents killed in an instance.at the heart of Baghdad,at the daylight,with the presence of many checkpoints,more explosions added to the previous count. The place is at Al-Salhiyah which is the closest neighborhood to the so called green zone. I am wondering how was that auto passed through all the horrible numbers of checkpoints and it was carrying all that cargo of explosives? Or was the source of the explosives from a nearby place? Many get killed and the hospitals cant count the number,they said there were 135 and 600 wounded,for gods sake is it a harvest? Moreover the news are talking now about people are still stucked inside the ruined building and the habitants have heard their voices last night shouting for help and they were going to rescue them but the national guards stopped them of approaching near the explosion site and told the citizens that the area is accused of attacking and if they wont back to their homes they’ll be detained!!!! iraqis dont act like this. they help each other and hurt for hearing those news.moreover many of the survivors talked about the electricity,i.e after the explosion the electric cables were on the ground and many of them got electric shock.
As the elections are approaching more deadly explosions are occurring.who is responsible for all those explosions????? We don’t need more statements and news that “ we chased and catched the terrorists ” but we need to stop those actions before its occurance and that’s the least duty they got to do after all these ruining years.
May god protect all the honest Iraqis.

Miss You

When the days became meaningless,when u go to work just to try to forget,when u oblige urself to work and work and work harder to punish youself till u fell exhausted. When u pretend to laugh and tell jokes to friends and inside of you a depressed feeling and a deep pain striking that make u tell more jokes and giggle.when u try and try but the brick wall is overwhelming. When u want to shout loudly to feel better but that shout deepen the pain and turn it into unresistable warm tears….
Hi friends
It’s the second program am being responsible of.when my boss came to tell me that I was nominated to be in charge of,previously at the same week my phone number and email address was taken to contact me abt the first program”feedback performance” to be in charge of it.and the assistant of the manager of the AIDS (HIV) examination centre. The latter seems wow but its not that big, all we have to do is to check the incoming passengers for HIV or delay them till three months and assign their passports for leaving again,if u r lucky enough u may see my signature on a passport one day 
As adentist,im working harder in the health centre and in my clinic.although sometimes I get bored of teeth and dealing with the oral cavity for abt 10 hours a day.i wake up at 6 a.m to go to work at abt 7:30 rtying to avpoid the traffic and crowded checkpoints nevertheless we cant avoid that.for instance I reached work today at abt 9:25!!!!
The checkpoints have left a line for passing of the army vhecles.in a horrible traffic the soldiers alow the students and doctors to pass but we cant go in that line since the soldier may not accept and he may oblige us to go back from the beginning of the crowds.
Last week I was sick ,couple of days I didn’t run my clinic and even couldn’t loginto the net.the days became worser by two sad news abt my friends.one of them was the death of dr “R” in an accident on the highway while she was heading back home.it was an awful accident that left her head apart of her body.she ws one of the greatest physicians. We shared with her very happy moments, I cant look at the folder where her pictures with us in the centre and at the restaurant.may god’s mercy be upon her soul.
The second news was the kidnapping of the daughter of our ex-neighbours.i knew her since I was in primary school then we moved to another house.her husband is one of my best friends whom I have known him since I was 13.i met him few days ago , he didn’t know what to do except holding his little baby.lately the number of the kidnapped people has increased in Baghdad.the other increase in number is the infected swine flu persons.the virus is increasing in a fast way,putting people in a hard situation because the government is not taking a big step to stop spreading this virus.the U.S army asked me about the same problem when they came to the health centre last week . my boss wasn’t present in the centre. Steve who was taking the major part of speaking was trying to ask me in an indirect way to know if we had received any case of H1N1.he asked if we need any help and suggested to bring a medical staff for help but I said no we don’t need any help because we have a very efficient and smart physicians that are more than able to handle any case.the U.S army is now responsible for the security in abu ghreib city as I heard that by the habitants and noticed that the army has increased and made a shortcut connecting the city with Baghdad airport.the security situation is unstable in abu ghreib, many attacks occurred,a physician was killed in his own clinic inspite of the presence of checkpoints and many national guards.

a new post

Long time no post :).lack of enthusiasm.sometimes cant find the time to write or collect my thoughts and in others I don’t hav the tme to play sports.i wake up at about 5a.m,go to work at 8:00 an back home at 3:00pm to have lunch,shower,change clothes and go to my clinic at about 4:30p.m usually I go back at 8,earlier or later depending on patients number.the insomnia is less compared to the previous period.i go to bed at abut 1:00a.m,well not every night,in nights I sleep at 2 a.m.!!!
After the partial withdrawal of the U.S forces especially the first few days, I haven’t seen the everyday scene of the American vhecles and soldiers but lately I see them everday.on my way to work I see American hamvies in al jamiaa street,amyriah.as for abu ghreib no one day pass without their visit.the situation there can be described as lack of secure and one may see its miserable.two Iraqi soldiers were assassined two weels ago,no one declared that.many times the road to the health centre where I work was closed.last week the army vehicles were under attack by bombs,the result no one killed or wounded,the target was mistaken.the shops were ordered to close 10 days after that attack. The shop owners are poor people who work and sell to get their living everyday. I don’t think ithat whom ordere them thought about their families or the habitants who buy from those shops. Ima gine a city with closed road and shops,how would the citizens live???? We stuck there and coul hardly back home.few days later as I was treating patients with my colleagues we heard that the national guards entered the health centre and arrested 2 armed men.i didn’t know why they were armed nor if the soldiers were chasing them.
Last few days the degree of violence has arised again.beginning with the new moern style of robbering banks,the first was one by the guards of the vice president adel abdul mahdi as was broadcasted by media,the second one was a trial but failed yesterday.baghdad haven’t seen such robberers and murderers in past history.the explosion which happened in many destricts in Baghdad an mosul were targeting the innocents only.
What about mosul…. That’s a totally a different subject,a small city cant be kept calm??? For god’s sake.its people are not that kind of violent.the habitants are innocents and just want to live in a safe area just like the rest of Iraqis.who was responsible for the deadly crime of al-ghazna explosion?? a small poor village 20km away from the centre of mosul. The same picture of al-zanjili explosion was repeated.
All the situation that we pass through is because of the political conflicts in and around Iraq,Iraqis are the victims.

baghdadentist

Hot

hot weather began in baghdad.the sun is burning.how it will be this july?
its already hot from many sides,weather,events,arguements in parliament,some scandals of torturing prisoners.

i went to baghdad prison(formerly known as abu ghreib prison) three times this week.
the hospiatal was renewed after reopening the prison.the medical staff are doing their best but they lack many necessary medications and materials. they dont have an ambulance too!!! the number of patients(prisoners) visiting the physician is abt 100 daily. there was a meeting with the manager of the prison he is new to this job but he is so cooperative and giving his all efforts.the problem was caused by the lack of medical supplies.
im feeling so happy to start receiving patients in my private clinic. it was a hard time in preparing for it. i used to go back from work at about 3p.m,having lunch and some rest then go out at 5p.m to the clinic to arrange and buy dental material.
thanks god.

last week i received an email with this photo of an iraqi newspaper called al-iraq attached.



the photo in the first page is confusing.shows saddam hussein with ezzat aldoori and masoud albarzani,the latter was "thanking the president to respond to his request to free erbil of talbani and his gang"as the newspaper said!!!!
im trying not to talk about politics but the headlines pushed me to publish the attachment.i know its an old issue and was in 1996 when i was in secondary school spending all my time on studying.so i'll keep it under NO COMMENT.
