My wife, her sisters, my mother, my mother in law, my sister and my grandmother are all people that I am pretty sure would literally move to another town if they could no longer play bingo in our home town, they would move as far away as they needed to until they found somewhere that they could play their bingo every week, they all get together and go play and have a great time, they enjoy it almost as much as i enjoy playing poker. It is just as the story said, a sign that things are finally returning to a sense of normality after all the tradgedy and chaos that has been taking place over the years.

Haha i have a few family members who would go kinda insane if they could not play their weekly bingo games too, although they would probably simply resort to playing online or something and in that case if my grandmother were to discover you can play bingo online then she would probably never leave the computer, that itself would be enough to convince her that it is a good thing to learn how to use one lol. It is good to see that the people can finally look forward to bingo and hopefully poker as a form of entertainment, fun and something which should surely brighten up their day.

Something such as this occuring in Baghdad after so much trauma that the people have had to suffer would be such a great show of hope for the future and hopefully it stays that way, hopeful and forever improving. I have family members who have seen war first hand, they have seen the devastation and the pain that it causes, the utter feeling of helplessness that it creates and the lives that it steals from families and the heartache it causes everyday people who have done nothing wrong to deserve what has happened to them.

The people of Baghdad have paid a high price for the crimes of others that they didn't even know. good to see that there is finally a ray of sunshine for these people and that there is finally the slow yet certain return of normal life for them with fun and entertainment and of course bingo! I love a bit of bingo myself just quietly but i play mostly online because i wouldn't want the miss to find out that i like bingo, she would never let me hear the end of it then lol when she found out that i used to have to shave for swimming, hairless legs and stuff, i didn't hear the end of it for about two whole months until she found something else to amuse herself with .

Great to see that this sort of thing is finally happening there but i wonder how long it will last for? Will things finally be calm and civil on a permanent basis or will this be passing like the eye of the storm? I am hoping that finally they get peace for good and that the unrest stays gone and that they can play their bingo and poker and everything without fear of retribution or possible consequences of any sort and without fear of the place being shot up or blown up because they deserve to have peace, the things that happend in the past are the fault of a few particular people, not every citizen of the place.

Bingo itself has a pretty large fan base both online and in clubs and social gatherings. Although to some people that read this story it may seem like bingo is nothing more than a game that is enjoyable and a bit of entertainment and a great way to pass the time, the game itself, in regards to this story especially, may be for the people of Baghdad, a sign of hope and a sign that life is getting not only back to how it was all those years ago before the chaos and destruction began but also better than that, it's a sign to these people that finally the cloud has a silver lining.

These people have been through so much in the last ten years or so. I think that it is wonderful that they finally have something good going on, that there is something that they can get excited about again and something that can make them happy. We all deserve to be able to feel safe and to enjoy ourselves and this is something that these people will now get to do after not being able to do so for such a long time with this all reopening up, who says that gambling can't bring happiness? Seems to be working for these people.

The conditions that they have set down for people to be able to go there and gamble though may have created a little more difficulty as some people wouldn 't be able to meet those conditions so for these people i guess they will have to just wait a little longer before they can have a sense of normality and be able to gamble again which really is unfortunate because they finally get something like this back and get all happy about it and see a bright side to everything finally starting to shine through only to get knocked back by the restrictions which have been put down.

It has been many years since the people of Baghdad have had something to look forward to and something to do to enjoy themselves. This re opening is a sign of new beginnings and not just a return to the way things were before all of the chaos began. This is a way forward, moving on with their lives and enjoying themselves again even though the entry conditions which have recently been reintroduced may make it abit of a pipe dream still even if only for a short while. This should also help to boost the economy again wouldn’t it? The people of Baghdad have been through so much in the past and been punished severely for crimes that they basically had to commit in order to survive. It is good to see some sense of basic human rights and respect returning to their land.

For years upon years the people of Baghdad have been subject to many inhumane and terrible acts that were not only physically violent but also mentally and emotionally abusive. These people have witnessed things in their lives in the last few years that not one should ever have to see. They have lost loved ones, friends and family members all taken away from them because of all of the trouble that has lurked in the area over the last few years. Finally they can have a sense of being safe again with things such as this taking things slowly to a point of feeling normal again. Do not blame the general public of Baghdad for the terror and the war, blame the extremists and the governments who start it in the first place. The public are just innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire, many of whom paid with their lives for the acts of others.
