An Open Letter to Most Americans
You've Lost Your Alibi!
By OMAR BARGHOUTI @ Counterpunch
Dear Americans (I am here addressing only those of you who are rationally choosing to prolong the suffering of the human race for 4 more years):
Just this past week, Iraqis had the equivalent death toll of 9/11. In fact, they have one every week or two, on average, thanks to your sickening and utterly irrational support for the neo-con gang at the helm of power in Washington.
I, and I bet most people around the earth, cannot take it any more!
The article goes on to list the atrocities being committed by the allied forces in their illegal occupation of Iraq. Of course, there are just as many atrocities being committed by irrational Islamic terrorists, several highly-financed and power-hungry militia groups, as well as numerous modestly equipped and poorly trained Iraqi nationalists trying to drive out the invaders.
I agree with Omar's introduction ... I can't take it anymore!
For fuck sake, get your high and mighty "justice and liberty" arses back to your own country and mind your own damn redneck business. You lost the Korean War and the Vietnam War; only marginally succeeded in the original Gulf War; still battling in Afghanistan 3 years after the Taliban fled and now you are making a complete fool of your nation in Iraq. Fortunately at least some good came from the conflict in the former Yugoslavia amongst all the carnage and mass loss of innocent civilian lives, probably only because you had to answer to NATO as a member state, rather than just stroke your own egos.
Any nation with a sense of reality would realise that in Iraq the odds are against you and that remaining there is not only futile, it is compounding one of the most ill thought out wars in human history, with an effect far worse than Vietnam. Comparing the whole war against terror to the "Christian" Crusades is not that far fetched, after all.
