“And I guess it’s a free country now.. so as long as they won’t be doing anything nasty they can put up all the posters they want.”

Do Iraqis even have an identity after all the turmoil? It seems with 57% unemployment and a government that is under pressure from multiple directions…no identity is to be had.

Here in America, things are being said about Iraqi Democracy that are troubling to me. Does a separation of powers exist in Iraq? Is there an undercurrent of hisbah Morality police on the make in any of the departments of state?

Very interested how this exhibition aims to “Demolish the iraqi identity”.

sigh or lol? not sure, probably both.
