Moqtada, Moqtada, Moqtada!I love what this video symbolizes. It shows the problems of the old times and the new in Iraq all in one culmination of homicide recorded on a cell phone. The Iraqis got to kill Saddam and couldn't even do it with any sense of dignity. Man, this place is headed for more rough times. I am no fan of Saddam but he looks like the only guy in the place with any balls. I had to laugh a bit when I heard the translation of all the background talk. One of the officials actually says, "Hey! Hey! Be quiet! We're trying to do an execution here!" Too surreal.

are you still around anywhere??
Yes. Nothing much to add. Brings up too much. A dear friend has family there that is internally displaced. It's not a better place since I returned.
I found your blog from your videos on Google from Rustamiyah. Someone I care about very much has been there as a doc for about four months now. It's hard for us at home to imagine what's it's like over there. I so appreciate getting a chance to see where he is and a touch of what it's like. Thank you for making that possible.
