Guest Guest Posted January 24, 2004 Report Share Posted January 24, 2004 Would it be possible to define and project the new Iraq in under 300 words during a dedication to those killed in al Hilla, or the other 10000 places where your war occurred? Would you please clarify? Are you reffering to the mass graves? or any other.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepSqueaker Posted January 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2004 Would you please clarify? Are you reffering to the mass graves? or any other.? I was thinking of the mass graves, as I'm not that knowledgable of the detailed history of Iraq or al Hillah. There is a lot of history there - and a lot of war. What are the great civs of Iraq and Mesopotamia? (Sumerian, Assyrian, Bablonian, Savinids?, Persian, Greek, Ottoman, ...) For what? How will you define yourselfs? Where does freedom and tolerance fit in your future? A critical question because if you (Iraq) can't figure that out, then I'll expect another several decades of war and brutality. If the powers that be can extend freedom to the others (Sistani -> Sunni, Sunni->Kruds, Kurds->Turkomen, Sunni->Shia, ...), they will receive 10-fold freedom in return. A blossoming. Every region should have a soccer team and that's how you compete. Anyway, Lincoln's speech is a thing of beauty. Leadership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest_Mutergem Posted January 24, 2004 Report Share Posted January 24, 2004 Translating above: هل لك ان توضح؟ هل انت تشير الى المقابر الجماعيه؟ ام الى شى اخر؟ كنت افكر بالمقابر الجماعيه, حيث انني لست على اطلاع على تفاصيل تاريخ العراق او الحله. هناك الكثير من احداث التاريخ في ماضي العراق العضيم وبلاد مابين النهرين( السومريين, الاشوريين, الى العثمانيين) لماذا حصل ذلك؟ كيف تعرفون انفسكم؟ ماهو موقع الحريه والتسامح في مستقبلكم؟ اسئله مهمه , لانكم كعراقيين اذا لم تستطيعوا التعرف على مستقبلكم فان هناك عقود اخرى من الحروب الاهليه بانتضاركم. اذا استطاعت القوى منح الاخرين حريتهم "السستاني,سنه, سنه,اكراد, اكراك,ترك, سنه,شيعه" فانهم سيحصلون على عشره اضعافها. على كل حال خطاب لنكولن جميل .. قائد.
