About this blog / FAQ

Tell me about this blog

This blog is simply a blog by an Iraqi - Husayn Uthman (me) which catalogues his thoughts on the current situation in Iraq.

Why is it called Democracy in Iraq?

I have given it this title because I am a supporter of democracy in Iraq, and I am writing in a time of great excitement and importance in the history of Iraq, one where a new Iraq is being built with a functioning democracy leading it into the future

What inspired you to start blogging?

I have always enjoyed writing, its something I do in my spare time. Unfortunately I didnt have many public outlets for it while I was growing up in Saddam's Iraq. Since the liberation of Iraq, I have been encouraged by family members in the west to write a blog and share my thoughts as well as news from the ground in Iraq

Can you link my website/blog?

Sure, just e-mail me the information at husayniraq@yahoo.com

Is Husayn Uthman really your name?

Yes it is, but I think it's not really a distinctive name, so thats why I'm not too worried about my saftey. Although saftey concerns do force me to not be entirely specific about certain aspects of my life.

How can I help you?

Well the best thing you can do is share my url with other sites if you enjoy my website. I enjoy hearing from people across the globe, and having my blog linked to more sites will allow me to share my message with more people across the globe. You can also donate some money, it would help me pay for the internet which is relatively expensive in Iraq. My cousin has helped me set up the paypal thingy.

Anything else?

Im just a blogger, I sit on a computer and write. I don't know what benefit this has, but if it does have any, I want to dedicate it to all the people who died for a free Iraq, whether they were Iraqi, American, British, Polish, whatever their nationality.
