Amiriyah itself is an area full of school teachers

Amiriyah itself is an area full of school teachers, college professors, doctors and ordinary employees- a

middle-class neighborhood with low houses, friendly people and a growing mercantile population. It was a

mélange of Sunnis and Shi’a and Christians- all living together peacefully and happily. After the 13th of

February, it became the area everyone avoided. For weeks and weeks the whole area stank of charred flesh and

the air was thick and gray with ash. The beige stucco houses were suddenly all covered with black pieces of

cloth scrolled with the names of dead loved ones. “Ali Jabbar mourns the loss of his wife, daughter, and two

sons”; “Muna Rahim mourns the loss of her mother, sisters, brothers and sons”

Many thanks to the Guardian(UK) for putting together this fascinating collage of opinions on the MBT Ema

Sandalsi NIKE SHOX in their article True Colors. It’s an interesting read.

In 1937 WH Auden and Stephen Spender asked 150 writers for their views on the Spanish Civil NIKE SHOX. The

result was the book Authors Take Sides. Jean Moorcroft Wilson and Cecil Woolf have repeated the exercise,

asking literary figures if they were for or against the MBT Ema Sandals war and whether they thought it would

bring lasting peace and stability.
