Peace be upon you
Peace, a word used for greeting and good gesture, refers to a state of tranquility, quiet, freedom of civil disturbance,security and order. If we
to use it in political terms, it refers to an agreement to end hostilities.
Nonetheless, King George W Bush is redefining the term to mean, surrender,
to yield to their unequivocal power, unjust possession of a sovereign country and control of its people and wealth.
I ask you to examine the true meaning of peace and see which of its multiple
meaning exist in nowadays occupied Iraq?
Democracy, freedom, peace, fighting terrorism. These are just a handful of
words that no longer mean to us anything but subdue, subjugation, and illegal possession of, occupation and control of our country, people and
wealth.
Freedom, democracy and Peace.. Let’s see what they mean to 14 years old
Nadia.
Nadia, if you have not heard of her, was arrested and forced into Abu
Graib’s prison few months ago. She is 14 years old. She is a child in the true human being eyes.
She is a woman in the eye of savage American rapists.
She was raped, sodomized, and tortured to finally find herself on the side
of a deserted road carrying a fetus in her womb she had no choice and was
not ready to bear. On her baby face and innocent body she is carrying the
physical and psychological deep wounds that reemerge every time she realizes
she is still alive.
Nadia had simple, innocent, childish and naive questions. But she is a child
and she wants to know what happened to her. She wrote to all world human
organizations, but with no answer.
Can you answer her questions?
Was she guilty?
Were all those girls who were thrown into prison of torment (Abu Graib’s)?
Did she know anything about weapons of mass destruction?
Was she a danger (on the region)?
Nadia is nothing but a child who had dreams of education, work and building
a family. She thought she would be helpful in building her country.
Now, she is scattered flesh of once called human.
After the democracy and freedom that was carried to her by the occupation
tanks, she is nothing but ruins and shredded human flesh. Her innocent child
image has been transformed into a distorted one. She can’t see the future,
as it is impossible to see oneself face in a scattered mirror.
Maybe you wonder, why do I stand here today to talk about these facts, which
I can talk in private with a friend. I do so because the media is woefully
ignoring it. The media, deliberately, is not putting the tragic side of
occupation on the spotlight. Instead, it brings forward few Iraqi warlords
and beneficiaries (collaborators) to fabricate stories about a fake free
Iraq. Those (collaborators) insist that there is a local terrorism, turning
a blind eye on the real terrorism being carried out by the occupation
itself. This occupation is the terrorism itself. An occupation that arrests,
detains, tortures, rapes women and children, sodomizes men and annihilates,
kills the wounded and forces the dead to stand up and ”say hi” as we all
witnessed that lately in the Swedish television.
I stand before you here today to share the grief of thousands of Iraqi women
prisoners, not to mention the thousands of men, as we all know of Abu
Graib’s The pictures from Abu Graib’s are conclusive and definite evidence that what is happening in Iraq is a true humanitarian disaster
carried out not by nature but by USA.
WE should stop this genocide.
WE should stop USA that came to enslave Iraqis not to
free them.
Talking about Huda, Fatima and Nadia is a way to answer all those who accuse
us of being terrorists or we support terrorism.
Danger of civil war is pure myth.
We as Iraqis including Kurds, Arabs, Muslims, Christians, Shiite and Sunnis
all lived in harmony for centuries. There was never a reordered incidence of
civil war in the history of Iraq. The civil was is a technique that
occupation uses to market civil war smiting and justify its stay in Iraq.
We sure condemn the killings of our people of all sects and ethnic groups.
Occupation is responsible for these crimes.
We do support our right to resist occupation and free our land.
And I think it is a just cause for any nation under occupation to resist.
As I stand in this place, I would like to read these questions to you:
Is it not our right to live freely in our free country?
Iraq is a member in United Nations.
Is it not our right as Iraqis to use our national wealth to build and
develop our country?
Is it not our right to live peacefully in our cities, towns and villages
without fear of being arrested, killed, raped or rocked by explosions, that
one least can say that they serve the occupation and undermine what is left
of our country?
Is it not our right to protect our civilizations, which represent the entire
human kind, and to return it to our museums?
Don’t you that GW Bush has proclaimed himself as the new Caesar of the
world?
Can’t you see that he want subdue all of us?
He threatens all of occupation, boycotting or economic sanctions. He had attacked European countries!
Don’t you remember his words?
”Either with or against us”.
We are responsible to stop this downfall in world politics and stop it now.
Those questions I have asked today, I ask not for answers now. I ask you to
take those questions home with you and think of your homes, families,
country and that Iraq and Iraqis deserve not less.
Remember that Iraqis are mourning new deaths every day; suffer the same pain
since occupation took over.
Iraqis are not some kind of aliens in a computer game, that when killed can
bring joy and happiness to the player. The player in this case is a top US
general who was describing his fulfillment and joy when killing innocent
Iraqis.
Maybe you listen to BBC and Fox News talking about GW Bush war on terrorism,
but neither Nadia nor Fatima is a terrorist leader neither in Iraq nor in
the world.
Iraq was the not the one who nuked Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
Iraq was not the one who used Agent Orange in Vietnam.
Bush and Sharon are alike and are the masters of overturning words and facts
so to use them in their propagandas.
In their definitions, people’s struggle for independence equals terrorism;
self-defense equals aggression, and condemning occupation means supporting
terrorism.
Throughout history, nations had defended and resisted occupations.
Even Sweden.
France is another example, in their struggle against Nazis occupation
despite Nazis propaganda of uniting Europe by the means of force.
From this square, that witnessed most if not all anti war demonstrations, I
call upon you to support our people’s struggle as you had supported others
in Vietnam, South America and Africa.
Iraqi people call upon you, Swedes, to support its struggle for independence
and the withdrawal of all foreign forces.
Peace!
F H Al-Hussaine.
