A great day for Iraq
Today sees the withdrawal of the American troops from the towns and cities in Iraq.No one can say what will happen but i think most of the ordinary people are hoping this will be the start of things to come . I hope and pray that they will get what they have longed for, for so many years.I still feel with forboding in my heart that this situation will continue for a long time to come, and these bad people will take full advantage of the absence of the Americans to escalate the everyday violence to a new level,I truly hope I am wrong.
My daughter and Grandsons are here with me to spend this week with me before I leave for England, on Saturday. I will miss everyone at home and at the office very much but I feel I need this time for doing a lot of things that I really want to do and see, that I have missed over the many years I have lived in Iraq.The next time I write the Diary,IT WILL BE FROM COLNE
