Discussion on Political Issues in Iraq

Oh.

Sit here. Come on, sit down. Sit here.

Keep sitting.

Down.

Yes, like that.

Yes, no problem.

Come on, are you getting up to look?

No.

No.

Yes.

What's this thing you intend to say?

What's the question? What?

Your son is into it, he won't stop.

I swear to God, I'm upset with him.

He's talking about the government.

What about the government?

Yes.

And he's talking about Saddam Hussein and us.

Saddam Hussein. Meaning, it wasn't good that I nominated him.

I nominated him, worked hard for him, and took him there.

I swear, my friend says it isn't good.

We just had breakfast.

The situation.

Muhammad, what is he saying about them there?

Yes.

You mean the big people in the country?

Yes.

Where is he now?

He's in Baghdad now.

Where's the job?

Whoever saw them, saw them from here.

Security knows about them today.

Aren't you all originally from Basra?

Where are you from, Ramadi or Basra?

Imad Amer.

Huh?

Imad Amer.

Al-Hammam.

Al-Hammam.

Basra.

We're originally from Basra.

We're originally from Basra.

They're not small. Get me some shish fish for them.

Muhammad, come settle it. Get me some shish fish from here.

This commotion, once, sir.

Ah.

I was talking to the brothers a little while ago.

Hussein.

My cousin's brother was the one who came.

He only took him to carry him.

So Hussein and Nuwad.

My father, Fahd.

And our daughters brought him back.

We went as pilgrims.

There was affection between us.

But at my uncle's, they arrested me for Bahr Yizna.

I was here alone.

Hussein, his father, Shofa, and I

were put in the sea.

Why? Because…

As a family, we don't…

He's no good to us,

and we're no good to him.

Nor does he have a few wealthy Azra'im one day.

Or rather, the opposite is correct.

Only the country.

The country.

Everything in the country…

goes away.

What is the country? Let me tell you what the country is.

The country is your mother, your sister, your uncle.

Mr. Azem was not the country.

So it isn't like that.

Our shortcoming does not leave him until it is a shortcoming.

You haven't come to your house, Naqasa.

God willing, Al-Maali, Yas, Saleh.

For what? What are you sending?

By God, we're well-known people—

A man asks for political manhood and talks about this thing they call

holding your head high?

No, the opposite of that.

Huh?

This is wrong.

No, he knew he was wrong.

Yes.

You were wrong about her.

Right.

What is this thing they call a naqasa, anyway?

A naqasa?

As for the question, he wasn't with us.

And this thing in Baghdad, since I trained in military camps—

Training.

Things like that in Baghdad.

Even before he left.

He came to us two or three weeks before he left.

Then he left.

Okay.

Go.
