Opinion: The Love Government

One of the strangest letters I ever received from my readers about how they think about the new government was that from an Iraqi reader who looks for a government that knows how to love its people because love is the only means that can make dialogue possible. I think it is easy to change a stone in to gold than to find such a government because all kinds of governments – even those whose people celebrate the valentine day - use the batons in dealing with their peoples. So, it is difficult to have an Iraqi government –amidst the occupation and terrorists acts – to practice the laws of love in treating the people and gathering them on the table of “love”. The idea of dreaming in having such a government in Iraq comes out of depression and pessimism that overwhelmed all Iraqis after many decades of torture and oppression; they are looking for the utopia that might put an end to their sufferings. To be more factual, we do not want to have that “Love” government, all we long to have is a government that respects the laws it issues and never works against them.
