iraq
I am really........I know you
have more important things. Health insurance, tax
cuts, BP spill and another flotilla to Gaza.
Yeah it's Iraq again. And will always be.
I will not let this GENOCIDE go by. I will not
allow the Holocaust of Freedom and Democracy
vanquish me...so it's Iraq again on the agenda. I
put it on the agenda, top priority, top of the
list.
Iraq, a country the size of California, where by
the words of a General of the US.army, (Odierno),
has witnessed the BIGGEST, LARGEST movement of
military equipment -- the US armada --since WORLD
WAR II.
In other words, since World War II there has not
been anything similar...for a country the size of
California.
World War II ? Do any of you read history at all
? Do you know how many allies there were during
World War II ? And during World War II, military
technology was not as "advanced".
Iraq, the size of California, a "third world"
country, broken by over 10 years of sanctions,
and all this military might to defeat the "enemy".
And you expect me to let it go just like that and
concentrate on your tax cuts, health insurance,
spills and flotillas ?
Oh boy, you don't really know what a true Iraqi
is.
Fact of the matter is I will NEVER let it go. Not
until some Justice is done. Like it or not - that's
the way it is and that's the way it shall be...
No one talks of Iraq anymore...hardly ever. Re-read
what I just wrote above.
Fuck it, I will not let those bastards drive us
into the shadows of cemeteries. I claim life by
claiming words.
Yet I feel so powerless...an old keyboard,
hundreds of articles, hundreds of testimonies and
a lonely voice. Where are the Iraqis ?
Did they all become ghosts of this Occupation ?
Is there anyone at home ?
At times I want to give up...this is not
something I can do alone...I am not superwoman,
ignorance surrounds me like a thick wall of
silence...I try to keep that tiny flame alive in
me...in the darkness. Its death means mine.
No, I will not let them erase it.
Facing my old keyboard and typing these words,
incoherent at times, is my only sanity...
No I will not let them erase it.
