The Picture that Broke My Heart...

-



Can you hold your tears... look closer for you might see all the anguish in this child's cry...


Look closer for you might see his neck streched, his vocal chords strained too tired too scared to look at his amputated arm...


One hand trying to hug his dad searching for comfort from all this pain... no more tears left to shed...


I can almost hear his choked weeping... Listen, you can almost hear his cry...


His father's eyes sadness, confusion and despair locked inside... You can almost read his eyes: "I wish I could do something my son but I can't... I'll just hold your face to the other side so you won't see what's left of your arm, don't look for you might be scared of all the bleeding my little one... I'll stay beside you until you forget you had too hands... I know you wanted to hug me with both arms, with all your strength but you can't... Patience.... shhhhh patience... "


Can you see the anguish in his eyes... I ASK YOU AGAIN... Can you hold your Tears...


Can you tell him its WRONG to blow yourself up in a crowd... Just sit back and watch those who did this to your child?


Frankly I CAN'T... I wish I could but I simply can't...

It's ironic how you can see another child crying the same way because his parents won't buy him Play Station Three.

Hi Robin,
Who would have thought there was so much suffering... kids kidnapped from their homes butchered abused and the strongest enrolled to become fighters for the resistance... Too many unheard tragedies...

Destroying A King's School in Jordan (Built in 1947)

These are the pictures that tell the story of tearing apart a landmark in this country's heritage. If you want to torture a man who has great passion for the history of Amman, all you have to do is take him to stroll down Jabal Amman and walk around the School that was built in 1947, the "Islamic Scientific College" It's wall once stood tall all around the buildings that constituted the architectural stamp of a different era. Jordan is still young, a country that is less than a hundred years, so when you talk about buildings that are 60 Years old. The first international football field , is no longer there, instead you will find the new buildings in this picture. Some of the most influential people in this country studied behind those thick walls. Including King Hussein, Ministers, Princes, Politicians, Opposition figures and many more. The school's management seems to have a different architectural opinion!! So they started renovating, demolishing, removing struc

When did Jordan become a country?

-
What makes a country? better yet what is the definition of a country? It is not meant to make Jordan any less of a nation or a culture when you say that Jordan as a country didn't exist 100 hundred years ago. There is a big difference between an inhibited land and a country. "A country" adds the dimension of political identity, of a nation that moves with its self appointed leadership towards it's own agenda. Before the so called "independence" of Arab countries, we were part of a larger nation and a larger political cluster. It was not ONLY Jordan... Almost every other Arab country did not exist as an individual political structure as it does today. And we were sold the concept of "A COUNTRY" as if it is the greatest achievement of our modern times. Our greatest disappointment was sold as our greatest achievement!! The unity of the Arab nations was broken down with lines of ink held sacred on fresh glossy maps with 21 proud new flags!!

حسني مبارك و حكومته هما عنوان الغضب الشعبي... ولكن ذلك يصل مشوها إلى مسامع المصريين فأغلب ما يصل إليهم هو غضب العرب و المسلمين من مصر و هناك فارق كبير بين أن تكره الحكومة و أن تكره مصرو الإعلام الرسمي يلعب لعبة قذرة... فأحب ما يصل إلى أسماع الإسرائيليين هو الفرقة و الكراهية بين الشعوب العربية...و خصوصا مصر فهم يحاولون عزلها منذ كامب ديفيد لما يعلمون من ثقلها في العالم العربي و الإسلامي فلم تحرر القدس في زمن من الأزمان إلا بتوحد مصر و الشام خلف راية واحدة...ه و جهود المفرقين لا تزال تصب لعزل مصر عن محيطها فمن المطالبين بالعودة إلى الأصل الفرعوني و نبذ كلمة عربي إلى الإستغلال المسموم من الصحافة و الأبواق الرسمية التي تستمر في تصوير النزاع على أنه نزاع بين الشعوب و المصالح و للأسف يقع الكنير من المتحمسين لغزة في فخ تمزيق الأمة فترى من يسب و يشتم مصر و كلنا يعلم أن ما يميز الشعب المصري هو إنتماؤه و اعتزازه الشديد بمصر بحضارتها و تاريخها و من المعلوم أنك إذا أردت أن تخسر مصريا فلا تشتم أباه و لا أقاربه كل ما عليك هو أن تشتم مصر... ه المتظاهرون عادة ما يكونون مشحونون بالعواطف إلى أقصى الح
