About us.
In response to some e-mails asking me to give some information about who I am, my background,where I live...etc. I'm posting this piece of info. Actually we are 3 brothers, working together on this blog.
-Mohammed: 34 years old dentist/single/graduated from Baghdad university in 1995. Left his job 6 years ago because he refused to serve in Saddam's army, and now back to work in Samawa City in the southwest part of Iraq. Interests: poetry, reading (history, religions, philosophy and politics).
-Ali: 33 years old doctor/single/graduated from Baghdad university in 1995. Left his job for 3 years for the same reason, then did the military service after losing hope, just to go on with his career. Now working in Baghdad as a senior resident and studying to become a pediatrician. Interests: chess, reading (history, parapsychology, politics and novels).
-Omar (I'm the one responsible for the publishing and internet work): 23 years old dentist/single/graduated from Baghdad university in 2002. Saved from the military service only by God and the coalition. Now working in baghdad. Interests: music, sports (martial arts), reading (novels) and now blogging. We were all born in Baghdad and still living here.
I love reading these blogs...
I still think these guys stories would make a great movie. Heck if Michael Moore can make up a story, why not make a film about the iraqi bloggers?
I've been reading them on and off for a year, even the virulently anti-coalition ones.
The rabid anti-US ones all tell of life being so much better when Saddam was in charge and how they had influence and lived much better.....odd that people affiliated with and made wealthy by the Saddam regime would be opposed to it's overthrow....hehe.
