I am still not sure if my level of English is OK or not. Reading the comments of the delegation led by US senator McCain recently visiting a Baghdad market. No, can’t be true. McCain is not that twisted, is he? We are used here to this kind of official denying that something is amiss, to official spokespersons informing us that H.R. are all fine, religion is free, etc. etc. We just roll our eyes, shrug our shoulders and move on.
But the total nonsense uttered by those congressmen that the Baghdad market is like “a normal outdoor market in Indiana in the summertime” just is hard to swallow from McCain. Of course Shorja was safe you morons, with 100 soldiers in humvees, helicopters in the air, restricted access for Americans only (guess they were all from Indiana?). I even don’t want to mention how many people get blown up in that city every day (it is getting very boring). Worse, some people over there in the US will actually believe the story.
I just hope I read all wrong, it was an April fool’s joke. Or we have now to be more nice to the people over here. Maybe they are not that twisted as we thought. China’s image is getting better every day. Just a matter of comparison.
