Amman
Yeh, this is one of the nightmares that the region has to see!!
I cant tell how angry/sad/shocked/ f.. up I m since I received the news about Amman, I am even scared to start checking on people I know!
How big is Amman anyway; probably the half of the city’s population was targeted; directly or indirectly .. by injuries, death of self, relative or friend, loosing jobs, and most importantly loosing freedom!
We know that Amman and the whole of Jordan will turn to be a huge military camp! Like Egypt and even worse!! but even more cause of the demographic Palestinian factor, the geographic Israeli factor, and of course the Iraqi ones!!
I am just still in shock that those places I know and I ve been driving around them, remember when we went together by car?!!!!

Look my friend; it is not about Arabs killing Arabs or Muslims killing Muslims; it s about criminals killing innocents!
And what has happened in Amman, Baghdad, Sharm el Sheikh and elsewhere is not because there are people want to kill others and themselves only! It is about INJUSTICE.
The Arab regimes have been unjust to their citizens and youngsters, the world isn’t a just place anymore, look at what is happening to the weak? Only the strong ones win!
Where were the words like justice, international law, law enforcement, democracy ..etc when Palestine was kidnapped, raped as well as its people! The strongest said it doesn’t matter so it didn’t matter!
Resolutions after resolutions came out of the ass of the world taking about occupation, rights, bla bla bla but when there is a regime that is not obeying (though was supported if not created by) the strongest, if that regime is not obeying or not applying what the strongest want, nuke them! smoke them out!
Then when certain group of people have been waiting for looooong for justice to come, through international law or any shit coming out of the world ass, their patience is exhausted and because they are closed minded and misunderstood their faiths (not to mention manipulated of course [may be by the strongest sometimes]) then they turn to e criminals and start killing themselves and others!

This is what is happening and will continue to happen my friend; no wonder that this will soon happen in Beirut. I do have this feeling and I am just waiting it to be reality sometime. it is not reading the future but putting facts together.
If we look back and think about the region and terrorism, I wonder why the number of attacks and killings have gone up crazy in the last few years as well as decades! Look at statistics and numbers produced by some western trusted NGOs and you will be surprised!

Yesterday, there was the responsible lady of the abu-ghraib prison speaking and said it was Ramsfild who sign orders of torture? Couple of days before; Rai TV, the Italian station produced a documentary about the use of unconventional weapons in Falluja? Guantanamo Bay speaks of itself? The secret detentions centers in eastern Europe? What else? If you say this is new and as a result of the war on terror and sept 11th and say shaboo ba and I d say in return; what about the CIA operations in and with Iraqi government before, during and after the iraq-iran war? The relations with Hafez Al-Asad that his son now is being f.. up ? the knowledge and support to the Egyptian regime in detaining people including the pope shnodah II (house arrest) under Sadat, while now the US switched to support “a little and shyly” the copts in the US and north America and put pressure “shyly also” ? what about all the prisoners in Egyptian jails? Torture ..etc? or why didn’t the US do something about Halabja-Iraq or Hama-Syria when the supported regimes their wiped out houses and people by gas or by fighter jets? So many more examples!!!

Thanks to the strongest who actually brought us this, whether we like it or not whether we agree with it or not, I challenge anyone to prove it otherwise with “facts”!
And we – the people – have to continue being f.. up for what exactly I don’t know? I mean what have we done in order to deserve this? We have an undemocratic governments, undemocratic –at least outside its borders – strongest nation manipulating the whole map of the world! And as a result terrorists increase, they f .. us up and it continues! Till when, God only knows!

I am terrible sad that most of the intellectuals, politicians and others have their minds stop on the point of who did it? And start pointing out toward certain people (not to mention manipulating that to accuse certain religions or group of people ..etc) I do not think they go beyond that to ask; why it happened ? and even if they have courage to do that; it is manipulated!

I am not a conspiracy theorist and Of course I am not and would not never ever justify anything criminal like this but I adopt a position that was taken by an intellectual lately when he was asked about those kinds of attacks; he said I would not comment, but if I have to; I d say the whole truth; it is wrong and illegal and against all religions AND it s because of injustice and manipulation!
It is the whole truth or none!

At the end Who pays the price? the poor “people” they have to suffer from their regimes, the ones behind (were) their regimes, or the terrorists (whom presence is caused by the strongest directly or indirectly).

I agree with you on the difference between france and the US. Of course, and I don’t want my words to be taken as anti-american in anyway, cause you know more than anyone probably that I am not anti American as American. But funny enough, may be living in the arab world for quit some time, you took our pride that I am personally suffering from. When someone speaks fo anything Egyptians my antenna goes up and I try to highlight the good things about egypt but recently I learnt to balance and say both the good and the bad ones. And I know that you are the same, from our hours-long discussions. You are right there are equal opportunities in the US unlike Europe and of course the arab world but my friend I m not living in the US, I m living here and I am affected every minute with what the US foreign policy is doing to my region? So if the US is the land of democracy and equal opportunities mine is not and it is not because the US plus “our own faults of course “
So don’t take anything personal or as if it is toward the American people or values. The thing is that the American administration along with our administrations (Arabs) are working totally against any values!
