LETTER TO THE WORLD
These past few weeks have been like hell for me. I live in Jordan which is just to the west of Iraq. Jordan has always been a safe and stable country; but I have experienced the effects of the first Gulf war, the second Gulf war, the Israeli Palestinian conflict and all the various crisis revolving around Iraq.
I am really GETTING SICK of having to feel the effects of another country's unilateral policy towards our region, I am SICK of having to stay Glued to The TV waiting for wars and conflicts to start and escalate, I am SICK of political rhetoric from the mouths of half baked politicians whose agendas are self serving in a manner that is so obvious that I feel these buffoons have no shame. I am SICK of having to plan my future according to the whims of power hungry leaders. I am SICK of having to waste chances that I might have used to better my own life and my community and nation.
I am SICK of having to worry for the safety of my friends who study in Iraq, I am SICK of thinking about all the men and women WHO WILL DEFINETLY DIE when the war breaks, 50% or more of them civilians, I am sick of having to worry about political unrest in my country and the middle east. AND I AM SICK OF HAVING TO SAY GOODBYE to dear and loved friend that have to evacuate the region in fear of their lives every time this happens.
I have never hated and will never hate any American or British citizen, because they have stood against the stupid decisions of their governments and have shown that they are honorable men and women, BUT I HATE the conduct of the American government, I consider my self a very docile and quiet person and i have NEVER born a grudge against anyone, YET. but I really think the current American government and the president is treating it's own people and the rest of the world like trash. It is the will of a few money hungry idiots and their puppets that are controlling the world. This makes me boil with anger. I sometimes I feel I want to vomit when I hear the stupid preachy speeches of the top American politicians that sit in their comfy chairs sending the sons and daughters of Americans to a war that ONLY THEY WILL BENEFIT FROM. I don’t think Bush will send his own son to this war.
I read that all the top ranks of the US government (including the president) are oil company execs or were at some point in time. That means that their conduct falls into the CLEAR category of “CONFLICT OF INTEREST”. And any self respecting court would view this as such. There is no way that anyone can persuade me that this is not true.
Another really FREAKY thing is how the president bush divides the world into "WITH US" or "AGAINST US”. That is some BS. That means that if I feel that the US government is wrong. I am automatically the target????? Next thing this division will include the American people themselves, turning the US that I used to love and respect, the US of Kennedy, Washington and Lincoln and martin Luther king and all the great Americans , into another 3rd world fascist (sp) country that isn't any different from what the US has always fought against.
I want my American friends to know that the actions of their government at this point in time will lead to inevitable WORLD CHAOS for YEARS to come and there will be a time that we will all regret the stupid decisions taken these days. And will be a catalyst in the appearance of a new generation of radical minded individuals that will easily turn to terrorism. Heck bin laden is now laughing his guts out thinking of all the new chances he now has to persuade people of his idiocy and craziness.
If the US wants to fight terrorism it must fight hunger, poverty and injustice in all the countries of the world. One other thing, it is one thing to ignore the people of the world and it is another thing to ignore the collective will of nations in the UN and the UN Security Council. If the US government is so keen on treating the UN like that. It should QUIT the UN all together. Heck the US doesn’t pay its UN dues. That is really sad. WHAT IS THE USE OF HAVING THE UN IF THE US DOESN”T ABIDE BY IT”S RULES?? That means that all sanctions imposed by the UN are legally meaningless and only serve the interests of the US.
I have one word to say. If the US wants to be the only super power on earth, it should act the part and work for the benefit of all man kind. The American people have a responsibility of that to the world. The US is NOT the only nation on the face of the earth.
I think that anyone that thinks that ousting Saddam is the magical answer to the US’s problems is really intellectually impaired. To us in the region, the guy is just a pompous fruitcake that is more hot air and words than actions. Actually if it hadn’t been for the US encouragement of his occupation of Kuwait, the guy would be safe at home smoking his big Cigar.
Heck even the US government at one time considered him as an important ALLY. Don’t you guys see the TREND? The US Helps Bin Laden and Saddam to rise to power and then they allow them to become what they are and then use them as stupid excuses to implement their deviant plans.
And why in God’s Gracious name is this time chosen to attack Iraq??
It’s not like the sanctions haven’t been there for nearly 10 years?? Why shift to Iraq which is CLEARLY 100% a trivial problem compared to global terrorism?
Why is Iraq all of a sudden a member of the “Axis of Evil”?? This is not some cheap Saturday cartoon, I have never heard of a Diplomacy like that in my life. Yeah sure, Branding three countries as EVIL will surely make the US the most popular country in the world!!! What stupidity. Who knows, the next Axis of Evil might be France Germany and Russia???????
The US is after some ghost weapons of mass destruction that have been proven not to exist to this date by the recent reports of Blix and Al Baradei. Heck there were forged documents and various attempts to make weapons out of thin air by the US military and intelligence community. And when proof is required the answer is “We can’t tell U. it is top secret”. We are not retards. Who do they think they are dealing with? Half brained sheep?? NO WE ARE HUMANS with brains that computers to this date cannot emulate. Now that the UN says No to war, The US government says “Shove it” to them.
Why play Nanny and promise aid to a country like North Korea that clearly acknowledges it’s possession of weapons of mass destruction and threatens to “Drown the US in a sea of flames”. I am of course against attacking North Korea, but I stated the point to show the SAHMEFULL double standards of the US government. Don’t tell me it is because the US’s benefit lies in this diplomacy. That is just saying that the end justifies the means. THIS IS BY NO WAY an Excuse that any person can understand. That means if it is it is in the benefit of the US, the US can Kill, rob, pillage or pamper, take care of and support any country in the world. That means we humans of all nations of the world including the American people are considered as RESOURCES, LIVE STOCK AND CANNON FODDER to the US government.
If I had these morals I would shoot myself and throw my body in a pit 6 feet under in shame. Also I am not the greatest supporter of the way the Palestinian resistance fights the Israeli occupation forces (Bus bombings). But they have the right to fight the soldiers and tanks that take down their homes and shoot their children. American people never see the Dead Maimed Palestinian children shot just because they threw rocks at an Israeli patrol. I have seen an image of a youth with his face Fully Exploded and Babies with bullet wounds. THESE ARE NO WAY FAKE photos or propaganda these are pictures we see every day on our TV’s and in newspapers. BUT ALL US and world NEWS networks show the after math of a bus bombing in Tel Aviv. But CONDONING political assassinations in the Palestinian territories using American military equipped helicopters using Missiles fired into residential areas is nothing short OF SADISTIC.BY INTERNATIONAL LAW firing into a residential area (No matter how “SMART” or “precise” a weapon is considered as a WAR CRIME.
Heck the people accused of Genocide in WW2, Bosnia and Africa where given the chance to defend themselves in court. How can we then allow people who BELIEVE they are fighting for their land (be the method right or wrong) be summarily EXECUTED and then call the Israeli president “A man of peace”.
These are bush’s exact words.
I have never asked for favors of people but I beseech the American and British people to help us before the Bomb falls and we’re all doomed. It might not feel so to Americans and british friends living far away in their homes, but we in the region will suffer beyond comprehension from this war. Not the Arabs only but EVERY DECENT PEACE LOVING HUMAN ON OUR GOOD EARTH.
I write these words all in good faith and I wish my pals in this forum will find these few word food for thought towards a peaceful green and happy earth. These words are not intended to offend anyone or bring feeling of hatred towards the US as a nation. If any body is to be hated we should hate ourselves for allowing this to happen. May God bless all the people of the world, be they American, Arab, Bengali or whatever. We all brothers and sisters.
