Mr. Zaidi, do hurry before owls hoot in Mesopotamia

The world celebrated the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime, a government that actively sought to destabilize the region through its actions. However, the current situation is presented as a cause for concern, with an implication that the overthrow may not have led to the desired stability.

The author, Mr. Zaidi, is urged to act swiftly, as indicated by the title "Mr. Zaidi, do hurry before owls hoot in Mesopotamia." This suggests a sense of urgency and a fear that the region might regress to a problematic state. The phrase "owls hoot in Mesopotamia" evokes a sense of foreboding and a return to a darker, perhaps more chaotic, period.

The description implies a critique of the post-overthrow era, suggesting that the initial optimism has faded and that the region is perhaps heading back towards instability. The call for Mr. Zaidi to hurry underscores the belief that immediate action is necessary to avert a negative turn of events.
