 We do not mean by our article title that the rest of Iraqi cities and regions are safe, as Iraqis from the country north to south are suffering oppression, injustice and death, hence it is today like a specter in our country, at times as a suicide bomber strapped with explosives or a bomb trap that kills hundreds and at other times from a silencer the nightmare that has become the hunter of Iraqis wherever they are: at home, work, in market or street!, let alone the gangs of kidnapping, extortion and the unknown death squads, as some prefer to call them! Which claimed thousands of innocent lives under hateful sectarian and religious designations, even our joys turn to sorrows, so when our Iraqi team wins in a football game over its counterpart, random shooting starts like rain and as such innocent lives are claimed, this is a very short account about the forms of death today in Iraq, I do not say all its forms, for it has more than one face, target, style and means, but the final outcome in all of this is the killing of Iraqis.

We are no more able to distinguish between the operations of killings and bombings, so every day there is killing and bombing here and there, and our religious or national events are no more revered, all our days are becoming dark and red color between sorrow and flowing blood, hence the specter of death and nightmare of killings and explosions have come to be forced on the Iraqis and part of their daily life, whereupon mosques, Husseiniyyat, churches, public markets, administrations, and ministries are the targets, rather the whole areas have been targeted as well and nothing in the country remained safe of that, and all what we lose because of that is the Iraqi human who is being killed in two different ways: either by killing the soul and its subsequent ascent to the Almighty or murdering the human from inside in every sense of the word.

We receive another tragedy befalling our people and this time in Tikrit city where a suicide bomber has blown itself up in a police recruitment center in the city center and the result of this terrorist attack was 200 victims between martyrs and wounded, and according to a police source in Tikrit, it was asserted in its talk to "Alsumaria" that the number of victims rose to 50 martyrs and 150 wounded in an outcome admitting the increase, and no sooner the Iraqis recovered from their shock in Tikrit than they have received another tragedy news but this time from Karbala and Diyala governorates, where security sources proclaimed the death of 45 people at least and another 150 wounded in two suicidal attacks using two car bombs targeted processions of pilgrims on their visit for the holy sites south and north of Karbala, and in the same context a medical source in Baquba General Hospital in Diyala governorate stated that an explosive device blew up in a procession of holy sites pilgrims at Canaan district killed one person and three wounded, in another report, one person was killed and nine wounded in the explosion of a road bomb targeted a procession of holy sites pilgrims at Alwat-al-Rasheed south of Baghdad.

Human life is no longer valuable in the eyes of murderers and criminals from whatsoever party hence they have no faith nor creed, no affiliation or identity so their religion, ,doctrine and affiliation is only money and who pays more.

If we were to stop a while at the death squads and armed groups supported from outside and implementing regional and international agendas on Iraq soil, and observe the operations targeting citizens, academics, and Iraqi qualifications in general, we find generally that death squads and accusers of disbelief (Takfiris) groups have not disappeared from the scene as some may imagine or represented, but it is a measured clear plan for those who follow the events and their progress in the whole country, hence former events that led to the emergence of these militias and Takfiris groups openly and directly on the scene were within a pre-meditated stage to achieve certain goals in time, and it was perceived by some that what seemed as partial security stability is achieved by the influence of  Iraqi government and the drying of these groups' resources, but the truth is the opposite, because it was a tactical stage for these groups to appear in the form they were then to disappear and return to activity in another form, which what we are living thru today of bombings, assassinations using silenced guns, and it is no secret to anyone the dangerous Iranian role in all of that, and we will not hesitate one day to point the finger of indictment directly to Iran about all what had happened and is happening on all of Iraqi arena north, south, east and west; so the expansive Iranian scheme lies in four main stages, which I'll talk about in a later article, but what is important in this talk of ours  that our aggrieved Iraqi people should understand that we are still living thru the stages of Iranian expansive scheme, and that all political and security events that are taking  place today on our Iraqi scene in all forms, faces, and methods are complementary to the Iranian scheme which is deemed at an advanced stages now, and this does not mean, however, that Iran is the only player on the Iraqi arena in security, political, economic and social areas, hence Iraq today is a widely open arena and a fertile ground, as thought by some people, and pliant to pass regional and international schemes, but no doubt the most powerful and dangerous of all those is the Iranian scheme.

Therefore, our people should be very cautious in the days coming and not get easily dragged behind emotions and rumors which will be promoted by some to ignite sectarian strife and civil war, for their consequences will not be less what had happened in the recent past if not more ferocious and extensive under who promotes today for Sunni territories and others southern, as a prelude to disintegrate and divide Iraq, so we have no option today but to be cautious against the owners of malicious schemes and to  recourse to wisdom in weighing the events and dispel sectarians and racists and every one who happens to promote the sectarian and racial bias under any name whatsoever; for they do not want good for us but to traffic in our blood, lives and history to realize their goals and personal and factional narrow interests, and thus we must learn from what happened in the recent past, so the more we thought that our choice is to rally around the sectarians, racists and opportunists we will not advance an inch, our choice, the only savior, is to dispel sectarianism and racism and to rally around the national unity and the symbols we find them qualified to carry our concerns honestly and sincerely and who struggle for lifting off the oppression and injustice coming over us, not those who pretend to be weeping upon it falsely while they bide their time and take occasions to achieve their goals and personal ambitions at the expense of their people and causes with which they trade in and use as a commodity for the sake of their real ends, those who the Iraqi people have tried and come to know them very well and thus far have become oversaturated with their resounding  empty slogans and false patriotism, those who sell and buy Iraqis grievances, concerns and tragedies, have ascended on the shoulders of Iraqis and been in power and benefited in their name, in consequence of that  our only option in Iraq is to give up any religious, sectarian or ethnic tendency or instinct and to dispel them altogether and surrender all their tokens and whoever promote and market them in the name of injustice and lament falsely and untruly thereon, and let our unity, tie and adherence to our identity our first and final choice.
