A message to Cindy Sheehan From Iraq

Topics: Iraq

Here's an Iraqi's view of the Cindy Sheehan shenanigans going on in Crawford, Texas. Mohammed at Iraq the Model offers some sobering thoughts for the self-centered, agenda-driven, anti-war, fulminating Bush hater, grieving(?) mother - Cindy Sheehan:

(...) I have heard your story and I understand that you have the full right to ask people to stand by your side and support your cause.

(...) But today I was looking at your picture and I saw in your eyes a persistence, a great pain and a torturing question; why?

(...) I know how you feel Cindy, I lived among the same pains for 35 years but worse than that was the fear from losing our loved ones at any moment.

(...) Your face doesn't look strange to me at all; I see it everyday on endless numbers of Iraqi women who were struck by losses like yours.

(...) Our fellow country men and women were buried alive, cut to pieces and thrown in acid pools and some were fed to the wild dogs while those who were lucky enough ran away to live like strangers and the Iraqi mother was left to grieve one son buried in an unfound grave and another one living far away who she might not get to see again. (...) We did nothing to deserve all that suffering, well except for a dream we had; a dream of living like normal people do.

(...) We cried out of joy the day your son and his comrades freed us from the hands of the devil and we went to the streets not believing that the nightmare is over.

(...) We did not choose war for the sake of war itself and we didn't sacrifice a million lives for fun! We could've accepted our jailor and kept living in our chains for the rest of our lives but it's freedom ma'am.

(...) Freedom is not an American thing and it's not an Iraqi thing, it's what unites us as human beings.

Be sure to read it all...
