The spontaneous message sent to you by the angry demonstrations in support of the steadfastness of the Iraqi people which erupted throughout the Muslim World and the burning of the American, British and Israeli flags should have conveyed to you in no ambiguous terms that your "holiday wishes" are unacceptable. Even corrupt Arab rulers including the Emir of Kuwait, who rely on your warships for their very survival and are vulnerable to your blackmail, had to distance themselves from your unjustifiable, illegal and shameful assault on Iraq and its Muslim and Christian inhabitants.Tomahawk missiles fired from aircraft hundreds of miles away and laser-guided 2,000-pound bombs raining down from planes that are 55,000 feet high in the sky are not proper holiday gifts Moses, Jesus and Muhammad had in mind. UN humanitarian staff, who witnessed the first two days of bombing, testified to the fact that food warehouses hospitals, residential areas and oil refineries, as well as the only Iraqi seaport, was among your targets, and described the situation as real "hell".
Muslims are not fools. You have impressed no one with your pretend respect for Islam and its adherents. A butcher’s tears cannot move a lamb. Its only concern is the bloody knife in the butcher's hand. The entire world has watched on TV your remote-control "fireworks" lighting the skies of Baghdad.
Mr. President, let's be serious. You do not personally give a damn for Ramadan, Christmas or even Hanukkah, which Monica and her friends who outsmarted you are happily celebrating. Certainly, you care less for the feelings of Muslims who, at their expense, are sustaining your dollar and economy. The assertion that you must cease the opportunity and blast Iraq and inflict the maximum damage to its infra structure at a cost of 10,000 Iraqi lives before the start of Ramadan, the holy month of fasting, out of respect and concern for Muslim sensitivities, is cruel, savage and outright stupid, to say the least.
Murder is murder every day of the year with no exception. Murder is murder whether your B-52 carpet-bombings hit a home and kill its occupants in their sleep or target a house of God where worshippers attempt to connect with their creator. Murder is murder, whether it is carried out slowly through economic sanctions, or accomplished instantly through bombing with push of a button computer. Examine the color of your hands. Since you took office, a one and a half million Iraqi civilians have died due to disease and starvation, mostly children who did no harm to anyone. Our Prophet has taught us that innocent blood is more sacred than the stones of al-Kaa'ba, to which Muslims face in their prayers five times daily.
Mr. President, the great majority of Arabs and Muslims here and abroad had sympathized with you. Many of us stood on your side and defended you. We urged you not to resign, and made it clear that we are no more moral than you are. We did understand the dimension and magnitude of the conspiracy and the ruthlessness and wickedness of the conspirators. We do know. We have been fighting Zionism for almost a century. The suffering inflicted on us is enormous and has taught us a lesson. Zionists would do anything to achieve their racist objectives, and are prepared to cross all red lines to realize their expansionist dreams. You have just painfully discovered that, in the pursuit of their goals, they would even dispose of their "friends".
Mr. President, as the most powerful man on earth today who has all the data he needs at his fingertips and is briefed daily on security issues, you do know that Iraq, despite provocation, has met all its commitments to the United Nations. Iraq destroyed all weapons of mass destruction seven years ago and none of its neighbours are complaining of any Iraqi threat. You also know that the Iraqi authorities themselves had voluntarily led the UN inspection teams to the sites where those weapons were manufactured or stored. You must admit that destroying Iraq and its people to appease your Zionist benefactors who had handed you the presidency of the United States 8 years ago and are now behind your humiliation and impeachment that may lead to your dismissal, is not a sound policy. It is also immoral. You must admit that those who planted Monica in the Oval Office have tricked you. Your intelligence agencies should have advised you that your "lover" had spent 3 months as a guest of the Israeli government and that she, together with her dad, as reported by an Israeli newspaper, met with Prime Minister Netanyahu.
Mr. President, you have missed a golden opportunity. You could have faced the American people with the truth and exposed the conspirators, who as agents for a foreign power, are undermining the security and the legitimate interests of America. You could have restored America, which was hijacked by the Israeli lobby, back to the American people, and you then would have become a leader of a true American Revolution. You would have triumphed over evil. It takes courage, honesty and leadership. You have the sophistication and the charisma. The American people, if they were told the truth, would be objective, receptive and supportive. They resent Zionist hegemony over their destiny. Unfortunately, you have goofed. The Iraqi people did not capitulate! Iraq will survive. You cannot claim a victory.
