Violence Continues

Yesterday, our whole area stood on its feet as something happened for probably for the first time here. It used to happend in a bit farther parts of town, but not here until now.

A car came, and two people whose hands were tied were brought down of the car to a little dump square, and they were both shot in the head on the spot.

Some people even thought that the killers had put detonators under the two dead bodies, in order to kill the police or army or whoever comes to deal with the two bodies.

Furthermore, I heard on the radio this morning that armed men in Ramadi who have the on-the-ground control, have banned satellite TV and wireless internet.

This comes in addition to some other banned things such as (written in bold are confirmed): Shorts, goatie beards, smoking in the street, short (marines-like) hair for men, uncovered hair for women, trousers (even wide ones) for women, t-shirts with English writings; oh and mixing tomatoes (feminine) and cucumbers (masculine) in the same bag!

I just wonder what would come next, where would they stop, and when would the Gov't or even the American Army would wake up and do something or anything about it, if some of these stuff do not happen elsewhere, but in Baghdad?!

Everyday they tell us that they caught 50 terrorists and gangsters, "including key figures", but we are not seeing the effect in the restive areas; so what exactly are the gov't and armed forces doing?

The bigger question is: Excuse me, do we have a government??!! If yes, then don't tell me, SHOW ME!!!!
