Baghdad, from a mother's point of view...

Good morning Baghdad.
Baghdad is keeping silent, streets are empty, no pedestrians and no cars.
I can’t hear the noise of American tanks and air fighters too!
Where did they go?!?!
Maybe they went to surround the fighting areas, in Baghdad and other cities.
Sun is really shining today, and the air is a bit chilly.
Houses didn’t open their doors or windows, boys and girls didn’t go to schools…
This is how Baghdad looks today…
I remembered the days of the war one year ago…
We went through the same scenario! The American army surrounding the city, the Iraqi people hiding in their houses, and the army of Saddam fighting against Americans.
Well, today we have the army of Sadr instead.
