Mosul once again is not good
For the last couple of months ,all the talk has been about Susan Boyle and with good reason. This unlikely singer showed not only Briton that she indeed can sing but the whole world . I watched her first performance on Youtube and for once in my life I saw the smug bigheaded look on Simon Cowells face knocked for a six. All of them were making fun of this lady which as become unfortunately a British norm to make fun and riddicule someone who may be just a little differant from others . I loved her and this week to my dismay she was let down by the British public when they voted for a second rate act instead of her. I think she has the voice of an angel and I truly hope that she will make her mark on the singing Industry.
Things are very quiet in Duhok but unfortunately it is not the same for Mosul. Last week my friend cancelled her trip ,there was a curfew in many parts of the city because two men had attacked a girls school ,trying to steal the salaries of the teachers . The head teachers quick action of locking her office door and telephoning for help may have saved many lives . There was a gun battle and one of the men was killed , but two girls were caught in the cross fire injuring both of them with one poor girl later losing her leg. all this sensless violence is on the increase again and once agin the ordinary people are the ones to suffer.
