BAGHDAD IMPURITIES:
Some Excerpts from
Recent Salam Pax -

Baghdad Districts like Ameriyah have become Jihadi Central. After they blew up all the clothes shops there they started blowing up grocery shops and now they have moved on to shops selling watches. Very symbolic isn’t it? Time stops HERE...

He is thinking of moving to another district because that area has become too Sunni. Are we going to start putting up concrete walls between Baghdadi districts now?

A week ago when a car bomb exploded near a gas station there they had to call medics to pick up pieces of dead people from their front garden.

Next on the PM’s agenda is a plan to allow only Sunnis on the street on odd days and Shia only on even days. [It's a sardonic joke.]

Salam also has a long entry (Sat, Sept 10th) describing efforts to cope with the ambiguities evoked by the proposed Iraqi constitution. They're going to have to develop a margin of tolerance for ambiguity, I expect.

Yeah, Salam's still bloggin'...
