Iraqi Rocker, or “Meemo” is a 19 year old man living in Baghdad.
Wednesday, December 13 2006: The Mehdi militia tried to take over our neighbourhood, but they couldn’t. I think they will try again later.
The other team that is trying to take over the neighbourhood is al-Qaeda.
They don’t attack in the same way as the Mehdi army; they are more bloody.
They use sidewalk bombs, they get inside people’s houses and kill everyone.
Both teams are killers, I don’t like either of them and I want them both to burn in hell.

Good Bye Blue Sky:
I leave Baghdad in two days. I’m going to Syria as a first step to the world.
I’m not going to see death anymore; I’m not going to hear car explosions again; I will come back to life again.
I’m not living dead anymore, I’ll be back to humanity in two days.
Goodbye Baghdad, I hope that you will recover soon and that peace will return.
I wish you peace, Baghdad, for the New Year.
