How long they will keep cheating us all

Now and while I'm writing these words, the American troops are attacking a part of my neighborhood west Baghdad. At the same time, I got a call from my nephew that some insurgents are attacking her neighborhood south west Baghdad. I'm sure the American army knows about the insurgents but I'm sure they ignore them or let me say they allow them to do everything they want. Few days ago and while I was participating in one of the stories we write, I got a piece of information from three Sunni friends (I forgot to tell you I'm Shiite) that they saw by themselves the American soldiers launching mortar rounds towards a Shiite neighborhood. Of course, Shiite would say that the Sunnis attacked them which would lead to more secterian violence that bring no interest to anyone but the pockets of teh politicians and the military monesters.

A question just jumped in my mind, Shouldn’t the American go the place where the insurgents are attacking the civilians? Shouldn’t they do their duty as they say to protect Iraqis and fight terror? It looks that the American government and Mr. President Bush don’t care about anything except for his own capital friends' interest. The strategy the US army follows in Iraq is not more than another lie to cheat us both Iraqis and Americans and we all, Iraqis and Americans pay the price. I don’t know whether the Iraqi government really represents me or any Iraqi and I just wonder whether Mr. Bush and his party represent the majority of the Americans? I doubt it really that those politicians represent us, nations, or even care about any of us because I believe they had lost their humanity along time ago and to be so accurate, since the moment they decided to politicians because they just followed the steps of devil and now they are not more than devil deputies.

I just hope that someone read these words and tell the poor Americans that your soldiers are not fighting Al Qaida or the terrorists in Iraq as the military commanders claim. They are here just because they have to obey the military orders even if they dont like these orders. They do their role in the play the politicians started since the American administration decided to get ride of its crazy fool agent Saddam Hussein.

It is very true that many many Americans do not support the Bush Administration's illegal occupation of Iraq. Our 2006 elections were the beginning of change hopefully. We too wish all of our soldiers could come home.
It is unlikely the war will end until after the 2008 elections unfortunately. Mr. Bush probably made some big promises when he was elected, and this is the result. He is unfortunately not very smart, and is more of a bully than some others. Although he acts childish, he is truly a dangerous man I believe.
Please stay safe.

Do the majority of US people support Bush? No. No, no, no, no, no. I could go on like that, but you get the picture. His handlers stole the 2000 election. There's every evidence they stole the 2004 election. Before this criminal war, a slim majority (53%?) opposed it. Afterwards, of course, because people can be stupid, there was some us-against-them nonsense and support went up for a while. Right now, 70% are unhappy with this criminal war. (Unfortunately, I don't think that's because it's criminal, but because it's going so badly. But maybe understanding one will help people understand the other.)

Thanks for posting. It's people like you who increase understanding.

dear all

thank you very much for your concern. As a journalist, I feel deeply that my real job is to reflect truth even if it hurts the hearts. I feel sorry for the Americans soldiers who die here in Iraq for nothing just to satisfy the biggest criminals on this earth,ie, the politicians, the Iraqi politicians, the American politicians and all the politicians on earth who never represent us, poor people.
May Allah bless all the poors (Allah= God)

i think you have discovered what many of us have realized. the politicians do not represent us, they are looking out for ourselves. we are just nothing, nothing.

ljm, i think the american troops could leave there tomorrow regardless. the sectarian strife may subside w/out an occupation. i really believe the US plans are never to leave.

there was no civil war before we funded and trained deathsquads. there was no civil war before we invaded. it is all just a lie. for greed.

The majority of Americans do not support Bush in this mess he's made in Iraq. It's a good question, how long will they go on cheating us? You have a civil war going on in Iraq. What will it take to end the civil war there? The American combat troops could start leaving there tomorrow if the sectarian violence and other insurgent attacks stopped.
