America, Get Out Today and Not Tomorrow!

A few days ago, one of my colleagues sent me news confirming the recent bombing of residential areas in the Al Doura district by US planes which killed at least eight members of one family, most of them children under the age of ten.

I do not know how long we have to bear the tax of our liberation from Saddam and his dictatorial rule? How long will America make us the scapegoat for Al Qaeda and mercenaries of the Third Word? How long will the government remain deaf to the killing of families, the poor, and the innocent under the pretense of eliminating terrorism?

How long will we wait for our death either under the wheels of a US tank or by the missiles fired by its planes or until we our crushed between Al Qaeda’s hammer and the anvil of American terrorism? Killing people in their homes in the middle of the month of Ramadan is justified because of the presence of terrorism; is this the government’s explanation?

You ensure safety for some of us and you accept the death for everyone else!!! God is Great. Is the US Congress content to suppress the American people with the threat of terrorism in the US? Is it that fighting terrorism in our homes, our streets, our schools, our mosques, and our monuments is an easy and acceptable situation, or that our blood and our flesh are cheap like the meat of a dead dog left rotting in the open, being eaten by worms?

Get out of our country, you killers, today and not tomorrow. You and all that came with you are among the followers of Al Qaeda, the international terrorists, and the mercenaries who sell their parents for a cheap dollar.

Leave us be. You killed enough in exchange for false freedom and democracy that granted us utter destruction, disgrace, shame, and moral and administrative corruption and breaking up the Muslim Brotherhood.

Your democracy, which we applauded, turned us into those bereaved of children, widows, and orphans of the street begging for mercy and a piece of the bread from a government that has made itself deaf to our hunger and our eternal subjugation.

Get out of our land and set the innocent free so that they can return to their hungry families whose needs are not met and who are humiliated by their poverty. Return our oil and our land to us and keep your hands off, those hands with which you once extended to us help and then extended to us death, humiliation, and shame a thousand times.

Go to your families, American soldiers, victims of George Bush and Saddam and international interests. Your families need you. Go to your homeland. Wash your hands of our blood. Acknowledge your crimes so your conscience can rest.

Our weariness and your promises, which do not fatten and do not sing from hunger, only benefit members of parliament and their relatives.

Our weariness which we live with every day and every night is dark and without water or electricity or food to satisfy the mouths of our children! Our weariness is the tears of our orphans who dream of a game or new clothes or a piece of candy. Our weariness is cancer, hepatitis, and cholera. These are the exotic diseases that followed your great liberation of us! These serious diseases, which were transferred to us, consumed the bodies of the poor and those with disabilities and injuries. We either die of a disease or hunger or under bombs of your planes.

How long must we wait for the life that you are creating for us? Whatever the case may be, we are like pet dogs or monkeys that you experiment with in order to triumph over the feeble.

America, get out from our country and give us a chance to heal our wounds and remedy our pain and to build our shacks and provide for our orphans. We are totally incapable of confronting you with the sophisticated weapons which you have used to killed us. But we will confront you with our words, which must penetrate your dead consciences, as they are transmitted through the long history read in published newspapers and through your mouths and your media!

The bombing of the innocent during the month of Ramadan confirms your lack of respect for Islam and for the Iraqi people in general. Get out of Iraq and Al Qaeda’s mice will catch up to you in your homes and there you may fight!

It is not our fault that we are poor Iraqis, making us the scapegoat until there are not many of us left. You killed most of us, you and Al Qaeda and the mercenaries. You abandoned brilliant minds to return us to the era of Neanderthals!

You have divided us between Sunnis and Shiites, between Kurds and Arabs, between the children of God, and between members of a single family to the point where children are killing their own mother or father. You have ruined our daughters. And you have renounced our ethics and customs.

Saddam and his empire no longer exist. Those who survived escaped like mice; only the poor, old, and disabled did not survive. You filled our hearts with pus, shame, and disgrace. Leave us to raise our orphans without the fear of a stray bomb or fire of a lost aircraft driven by a drunkard.

Get out America today and not tomorrow. We are fed up. If you don’t leave, every Iraqi will indeed be a terrorist to you and to your followers.
