Iraq
Omar, Iraqi Blogger hates UN, and others who helped Saddam

YOU OWE US AN APOLOGY
he posted this 11/17/03
I don’t know really know why Saddam’s regime lasted for over three decades, but I am sure as an Iraqi who survived that period that there’re no legal or moral justifications for it to remain. I was counting days and hours waiting to see an end to that regime, just like all those who suffered the cruelty of that brutal regime. It’s been really a disgrace chasing the world, the world of the 21st century, reminding it how incapable it was to aid the oppressed and to sue those who despised all the values of humanity. Throughout these decades I lost trust in the world governments and international committees. Terms like "human rights," "democracy" and "liberty", etc. became hollow and meaningless and those who keep repeating these words are liars... liars... liars. I hated the U.N and the security council and Russia and France and Germany and the Arab nations and the Islamic Conference. I’ve hated George Galloway and all those [who] marched in the millionic demonstrations against the war.
if only those people had half the brains and courage of you, Omar
It is I who was oppressed and I don’t want any one to talk on behalf of me;
I, who was eager to see rockets falling on Saddam’s nest to set me free, and it is I who desired to die gentlemen, because it’s more merciful than humiliation as it puts an end to my suffering, while humiliation lives with me reminding me every moment that I couldn’t defend myself against those who ill-treated me. What hurt me more and kept my wound bleeding was that they gave Saddam a tribune so the skinner can talk, and offered him a diplomatic representation almost all-over the world to broadcast his filthy propaganda and sprinkle Iraq’s wealth on his supporters. I really didn’t understand those countries demands to take away our misery. Did they really think that the sanctions were the cause?

#4  Hiryu - You speak of integrity directed at the Bush Admin...You should focus that on the countries that would pefer that saddam still be in power.

MuRat - Is too difficult to comment on the truth?

The liberals only cry when they are not in power. Once they are in power they tend to forget the plight of the oppressed.

#3  It's a strange world isn't it? We (and Omar is 100% right) FINALLY send our soldiers to fight and die, and yet we find ourselves in the position of being VERY grateful to Omar just for not saying what a bunch of hedgemonic, oil hungry, murderers we are.

That being said, I will say, thank God for people like Omar. The ones who have the courage to stand up and say what needs to be said. If more people would find the courage to stand up against the insanity, then the George Galloway's of the world won't have such an easy ride.

#2  Hiryu, the policy is "War On Terror".

Omar, sorry it took so long. Different administrations, different policies. Saddam lasted so long because of things like the cold war and that whole Iran thing. There are many who want your country to stay a battleground. You must fight them. Do you think Iraq can stay a united country or would it be better partitioned. Is Iran, Turkey, Syria a concern.

Bush made sure the battle of Iraq happened. It seems Hiryu thinks there could have been a better way. I think you know better.

#1  Whatever one wants to think about administration policy, this is a chance to do good. One just hopes said administration has some integrity and makes a good faith effort to carry through.
