The Psychological Change Started.

"I believe that the buses are mini mobile societies where a journalist can find stories. I was watching the parliament session when I remembered the daily trip I make to work using these mini buses. I remembered the crazy discussions we usually have when we pass through the traffic and when people see the same scenes since the first day of the invasion. We repeatedly see the buildings that have been bombed and neglected. So many people start suddenly cursing the politicians and the government repeating the same sentence “we were cheated by the slogan of the religious parties but we will not anymore.”

This reaction always make me feel happy because it means people started to leave their sectarian castles and look for the real life where they can share Iraq with all Iraqis. It’s the real start which cost us hundreds of thousands of souls but yet the sacrifice is worth this change. I hope people realize the truth that politics has nothing to do with religion because religion is something private and has a limited effect while politics has mass effect. Politics can destroy a nation or build a nation.

The other sign of the psychological change is the disagreements among the political alliances. Everyday we read and hear news about some politicians in a political bloc who decide to separate and form their own new political bloc because the mother bloc is practicing a democratic dictatorship by giving the main position to a specific party or group. These disagreements will destroy the sectarian blocs and help people to differentiate between the politicians and recognize the good ones who can really build the new Iraq regardless their sect or belief. They will look for the best because they want a better future.

I can say that these psychological changes are the real awakening which we need. I pray it grows bigger for the sake of the coming generations who dream to have a real strong united Iraq.

May Allah Bless Iraqi"
