Fifth anniversary of the second Iraqi holocaust

The first Iraqi Holocaust took place some 750 years ago or in 1258 A.D when the Moguls entered Baghdad, burnt to the ground the grand palaces, schools and libraries and killed thousands of scientists.

The second Iraqi Holocaust took place on April 9, 2003 A.D when the American barbarians entered Baghdad. Before arriving in the capital city, the country was heavily bombarded with all kinds of weapons in “order to shock and owe”.

During Operation Iraqi Freedom, the country infrastructure was obliterated destroying roads, bridges, power stations, water pumping facilities, sewage systems along with hundreds of schools and hospitals. Up to date; close to one million Iraqis have died (including 5000 scientists), 900000 disabled, and 4.5 million displaced. The country waters are contaminated, the ground is polluted and there are over 1.5 million mines and un-exploded ordinance lying around. According to the UN there are currently one million Iraqi widows and 4 million orphans. To G.W. Bush, it was a successful operation as America was able to destroy Iraq on behalf of Israel. But to us Iraqis, it was a Holocaust and those who committed the crimes must be brought to justice. The Iraqis have drafted a list of over 250, American, British, Australian and Iraqi officials who were directly responsible for this Holocaust in the hope they will be put on trial for war crimes.

Imprisoned inside the Green Zone, America's client regime of Al-Maliki behaves as it rules a sovereign state complete with a constitution and a parliament. A country whose half its population is either dead, disabeled, displaced, sick or hungry. Since there are chronic shortages of electricity, pumping stations for water and sewage are out order for 90% of the time.

Iraq is the fourth country in the world when it comes to corruption and above all, there is no security anywhere in the country. Al-Maliki has no power not even to cancel the licence of Black Water Security as he promised for massacaring 17 Iraqi citizens. It is a lawless country with laws amade to suit the many warlords controlling zones and streets of most parts of Iraq.

Most Iraqis who were against Saddam were happy to see him go, albeit not in support of the American brutal occupation. The first month of the occupation saw the real face of the American barbarians when scores were mowed down in Fallujah and where inmates were tortured, abused and killed at Abu Ghraib. There is 1000 times more violence in Iraq than during Saddam. The Americans have killed 1000 more Iraqis in five years than Saddam did in 35 years. Threre is 1000 times less corruption during Saddam than during the occupation. The services are 1000 times worse now during Saddam rule although Iraq was put under severe sanctions. For Iraqis, it is like jumping from Saddam tiny frying pan into huger Bush fire.

On the Fifth annoversay of the fall of Baghdad on 09.04.03, the US media and the Whitehouse are trying in vain to smear some cosmetics on the ugly face of the brutal American occupation. It is easy to hoax the American zombies. Bush-Cheny-Powell did hoax everyone in order to go to war, despite the fact that Iraq didn't constiute a threat to anyone. They can repeat the same deception by saying that Bush's project in Iraq is a success. No-one in the Whitehouse wants to hear the views that Iraqis don't want to be occupied and they will fight tooth and nail to free their country. Al-Maliki and his gang of profiteers are completely isolated from their people who are currently fighting from Mosul to Basrah. The Americans like to label the Iraqi resistance as insurgents, terrorists, extremists or Al-Qaeda. We like to label them as barbarians and their Iraqi stooges as no more than traitors. Iraqis who are not on the payroll of the Americans believe that there should be no compromises with the ones who destoyed the country and killed its people. It seems that 2008 will see the collapse of the American project in Iraq.
