It's not goodbye

The post is update...scroll down

As I was gathering the thoughts of this post I was on my way back from work and listening to the song "It's not Goodbye" by Laura Pausini and I couldn't find a better title for this post than the name of the song…how much resemblance! But it's kind of the resemblance of differences between what I want to write and the meaning of this great song.
About ten days ago we were visiting one of our best friends (a man and his wife), they have just came back from Syria after spending the last few years there in a pointless and hopeless life with no work or anything bright in the future, just so they can keep breathing, it's not like they were threatened directly but they lived in a very hot area….anyway, because they were in Syria they couldn't have access to blogger or youtube because it's banned there so as we were talking I remembered the video that I made "New country (Iraqi song)" so I showed it to them…they begun to cry and weep because they already figured it was a mistake to come back but because life have such a painful rule that everything with a real value needs sacrifices and work is one of the most valued thing so they sacrificed their safety for it and came back because they have spent all they've got there, in fact their relatives begun spending on theme and supporting them….my friend said " aren't things improving? Maybe Iraq will better soon" and I said "Wait a little longer before you give such judgments, I believe the bastards are just preparing themselves, haven't you noticed their pattern, every while they have a period of silence and they come back stronger, they are just like cancer"
Two days after that day we were getting ready to go to work when we heard three explosions within five minutes, lots of explosions are a normal thing these days so we went out and figured that wherever we go it's closed…it was two explosive packs and an explosive car, all of them in Kasra which is near Adhamiya, it's known for its grocers and restaurants, it's one main street in which all the shops lies and homes are in the side streets, it's a Shiite area and it's people are so kind and polite and nothing sectarian happened there, I have so many friends there and I really liked its people….I got worried because as I said I know many people there so I went on foot to check hoping that the casualties are few and none of them is my friend or someone that I know….I got shocked as I reached there, what an ugly crime, what twisted heads are behind it….the first pack was at the beginning of the street, the car was in the middle of the main street at the entrance of a side street where two of the most famous public restaurants lies; they are the corners of the side street and the other pack was at the end of the street…you can't imagine the load on those restaurant in the morning because they serve very good Iraqi breakfast, I can say that you'll find more than 50 man in those two restaurants in the morning and if you want to eat you will have to wait long before you have a seat, or you can eat standing… I used to be a customer to one of those restaurants and now they are both just a ground…they bastards made those restaurants just ground, I asked an eye witness about the estimated number of casualties and he said" for sure I have seen more than 25 dead people and countless number of injuries ranging from severe to mild injuries, it was a real slaughter" but they said in TV that the injured are about 20 and 15 deaths, it's impossible for me to believe what they said in TV because I know the number of people who eats at those restaurants let alone the two packs and their casualties…I couldn't know for sure if all the people I know are OK but at least I haven't heard any of them is dead. Then I heard from a friend that a car which was picking girls to their high school was totally destroyed and all the young girls are dead and it was so hard to identify them, OH God, those poor young girls, what they have done to deserve such a death while the one who killed them is running free and having fun now with the blood money he got from god knows where…damn it, life is sick sometimes....I believe in Karma and this belief comforts me most of the times but I wish Karma will act faster in Iraq, why not? everything is different in Iraq, why Karma can't be faster here.
The Kasra slaughter was just the beginning for the countless lunatic explosions, it was like the start signal for the bastards, now you can't keep track of explosions, it's everywhere and every few minutes…the explosions are really back, we just thought they were going to end but the reality is different, they were just getting ready and trained to be back again but stronger this time with stronger criminal techniques and minds, so it's not goodbye, I just want to know when can we say goodbye? Will we ever say goodbye!


Update:
One hour after I've finished writing this post I heard a very loud explosion...I called some friends and I knew that it was another explosion in Kasra! God they seem to be determined on planing this neighborhood, but this time it was more twisted....they used a Humvee!!! yes, a Humvee exploded near the bank, this bank is responsible for giving checks for anyone who wants to issue a passport...so it's like this: anyone wanted to issue a passport at that day should visit this bank let alone the loaded cafe besides the bank and the restaurant...it was another massacre...some people said they used a sticky bomb in that Hummer...well, in either cases it seems that the massive number of soldiers of the Iraqi army at that area are just sheep...what they were doing if they haven't noticed a stick bomb in their Hummer! what they were doing when they stick it! what they were doing in the first incident when three explosions took place...they are just sheep in my opinion and they are not doing their job at all....the people behind these operations are really twisted criminals...
PS: you might have noticed that in this post I used "they", "the bastards" and "criminals" and I didn't refer to any specific party or organization because really no body knows....It can be AQ, it can be JAM, it can be Badir Brigade, it can be Iran and AlQuds brigade, it can be the "special groups" and it can be the USA, there is a rumor people are talking about that the US army is behind many of the recent explosions because of the security deal...no one knows because everybody is a suspect and everything is possible, there is nothing certain.
