salam Dave Winer pointed me to this Iraqi blog. It's in english and is an interesting read in the current situation. A couple of hours earlier we were at a shop and a woman said as she was leaving, and this is a very common sentence, “we’ll see you tomorrow if good keeps us alive” – itha allah khalana taibeen – and the whole place just freezes. She laughed nervously and said she didn’t mean that, and we all laughed but these things start having a meaning beyond being figures of speech. [Where is Raed ?] 8:01:54 AM
