I've been thinking:

Yesterday, Kissim Imhawi was assassinated in Iraq. People should recognize his name, but most won't.

He was the Director General of the Ministry of Communications in Iraq. He was the one who put the phone lines up after they were destroyed during the war.
Kissim spent nearly 20 years in Saddam’s prisons. And yesterday, in a flash, his car was riddled with bullets from submachine guns.

For Iraq Kissim represented change and development.
He was a symbol of the future.
Murdered by enemies of hope.

This assisnation, once again, proves my point.
First comes security and safety, only after they are in place will democracy follow.
