Something about "Liberation"...
This "liberation" has done us in.
There is not one person I know who has not been affected and whose life has not been altered, read - forever changed by so much "liberation".
You don't even have to be an Iraqi. This "liberation" has served as a perfect mirror reflecting the moral bankruptcy of some and the resilience of others...
Those who are faithful to Iraq - the concept of it - (now we are talking about concepts since the Reality of what was Iraq is something of the past!), those who are close to Iraq in spirit and mind lose sleep too...
I have received tons of mails from all over the world. Africa, India, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and the USA.
Those who are close to Iraq in spirit feel alienated from their peers. They suddenly feel out of place, they suddenly no longer feel as if they belong to what was deemed a "familiar" environment. This "liberation" has affected them too...
Seems they, too, are as unable to handle so much "freedom"...
But they are a minority. I like to call them the "feeling" minority. These people and all honors to them have not lost the capacity to feel...Praise them for they have become a rare breed.
Some write to me expressing their own pain, some write to me telling me how they feel strangers in their own land and some write to me thanking me for "freeing" them with my anger...giving them that inner space and permission to express the repressed taboos of the "politically correct", to formulate their own anger vis a vis the lies and the deceptions...
And they write to me expressing their disgust.
Something about this Iraqi "liberation" is viscerally disgusting...
Something about it, something out of this world... Something unseen before, something unfathomable...
As if all the dirt and the scum of the Earth has risen to the surface like the sewage of the streets of Baghdad...
As if this Earth has not stopped vomiting all of its foul bitter acid bile ...covering the whole land of Ur with it.
Never, at least not to my knowledge, has a "liberation" produced so much human filth...
Never has a "liberation" managed to generate so many death mercenaries and contractors being paid up to 5'000 dollars a day with the sole aim of exterminating...and "pacifying".
Never has a country been so openly plundered and pillaged right in front of everyone's eyes and to the utter silence of its spectators...
Never have so many atrocities of an unspeakable kind, not even seen in the worst horror films go by under an aura of such great detached indifference...
When I mention that cadavers are deliberately left lying in the streets until they are bloated by death or chewed at by wild dogs, I am not believed...I am called extraordinary with extraordinary claims.
I am told, surely the civilized world will not allow that!?. I am then asked to prove it.

Like do you want me to send you a corpse by DHL or should I ask one of the mercenaries of Blackwater Inc. to carry one in his suitcase, courtesy of the Crusaders?
When I write to "friends" that some children are seen playing football with the skull of a dead man, something that has been confirmed by the Arab League Ambassador to Baghdad, I am told that I need psychiatric help...Surely no "liberation" will drive children to play ball with heads ?!
When I am told, that some members of a sectarian militias like the Badr Brigades or Mahdi Army of Iran presented a sunni woman with her baby boy roasted and on platter delivered in front of her doorsteps...I say to myself surely this "liberation" cannot give birth to so much cannibalism...and that maybe I do need psychiatric care after all.
When am told that an elderly woman waiting for her son in some street in Baghdad is presented with a plastic bag with her son in it in pieces...I feel I am watching a third rate horror show...and maybe I am having audible hallucinations.
But this is the reality of the Iraqi "liberation".
All these base, bestial, sadistic, psychopathic impulses have been unleashed and encouraged to flourish...

Iraq , the mirror of the West's "suppressed" bestiality? I leave you to ponder on this one.
But whatever you come up with, you must admit, there has never been a "liberation" like this one...ever.

cant really say....sorry
Actually, the satanic behaviour you speak of is not new. During the crusades, the “noble” warriors of the West rampaged through the Middle East raping, killing, and pillaging in ways that are very similar to what their grandchildren are doing today in Iraq…They murdered infants by smacking them against walls, they burned and murdered women after raping them (pretty much like what their grandchildren did to Abeer), they gutted open the bellies of men and women searching for gold that the heathen Saracens (our ancestors) may have swallowed to hide from the invaders.
Also, just to show that these “noble” warriors are not racist towards a particular race or people, when they invaded America in the late 1400’s, they proceeded to murder its native inhabitants wiping out millions in the process through warfare and disease. The concept of “scalping” (i.e. removing the human scalp with the hair attached as a trophy) was first introduced by the West into the Americas (the invaders were also known to use the testicle sack of murdered boys and young men as tobacco pouches).
So, in essence, what we are seeing in Iraq is nothing new…It is merely the true colours of a godless people who have used murder and torture ever since they crawled out of their caves in Europe.

"Dear terrorist,
"You are cordially invited to Baghdad on March 1, 2008, for a farewell party for U.S. armed forces. By that date the last U.S. service member will be withdrawn from Iraq, and you are invited to celebrate as you see fit. There will be plenty of unsecured weapons to hoard, unguarded borders to cross and defenseless infidels to slaughter."

through you Irak has come out of its obscure place...
(pm. you are a gifted writer/talent and you know it for sure!)
thank you
s.
You don't need a psychiatrist, you need to be rid of the trash that caused this in the first place.
If that happened, Iraq may have a chance.
How I hate those stars and stripes.
you make me feel proud for being an Arab.
Correct again. I read Amin Maalouf History of the Crusades some years back and this is exactly what was reported...You said it.
Concerning Blackwater Inc - the info I gave is correct. Not only that, the "director" of Blackwater inc is a born again christian...
Most of his mercenaries come from South Africa, Australia, and of course USA and they happen to be born again . Jesus is free from these people... One can never stress that enough.
Not only that, wait it gets better...They form something called the "forsan Malta" - translated as The "Cavaliers of Malta" ? with a so called state in Rhodes and Malta. The only country that has accepted to recognize this so called Country of Crusaders is Egypt. The other catholic countries of the world have refused to recognize them...
Go figure!

It's not going to end with Iraq. It will continue somewhere else and you and many on this blog will say they didn't know about it.
This is the pattern that irritates me to no end. The violence around the world that no one cares about, until it's on their doorstep. Then everyone is supposed to stop and take notice. We destroy each other and people decide it's only 'them over there'. We trivialize it all away to remove ourselves from any responsibility. My favorite is when someone says 'I didn't know it was that bad', oh please.
I'm at the point where I don't care anymore. The well has run dry and laughter is all I have left.
When the rest of you get to that point let me know, maybe we can share a laugh or two.
PS. Maybe you should use the term deliberate instead of liberated. I do believe the destruction of Iraq was a deliberate plan long before there was any attempt to liberate it.

alternate reality. They are
NOT BORN AGAIN, they are brainwashed which is basically
what all religions are-brainwashing
similar to the military in all these countries. You do as we say and do not question. It is a tragedy what the US has done to the
country of Iraq. May you be blessed in your future for the US will be damned.
Now Riverbend will be among the refugees:

seems you find violence and brutality funny...would you fancy cracking up a few jokes about the Shoa perhaps or is that kind of violence not kosher for you ?
Giving UP hope ? Yes possibly...:-)
I have not read one word of support from you- you are good at making a fool out of yourself though and if you want me to thank you for that ' got no problem with it...
What kind of thanks do you expect from Layla, Jr.? With all your ridiculous comments, I wonder what it is that brings you to this site????!!! Really, you are a pest...but, I must admit, rather grudgingly, that you do manage to bring the occasional smile..... so I thank you for that, silly person!!!!
I know it is a pathetic set of overly spoken words, but it is all I can do.
I wake up at night with images in my mind about the holocaust. The deliberate murder of Iraqi people.
It sickens and shames me that USA is the one to blame for it all, but in my heart of hearts I KNOW that is is only a matter of time before our so called government turns on us.
We may never see the blood letting like in Iraq but the future here is dim, given that the powers that be are focused on a global agenda of dominance and control.
Sooner or later, we the people, will be facing the end of their guns.
Continue your works Layla, and god(where ever he may be)bless you.
Hold tight to who you are, and survive.
That is all thats left....
Where do I begin? Because I am ANGRY and sometimes that makes me quiet, but currently I am readdy to shout. Why? Because between reading you every day and this
http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/sfo/309485032.html
(Which I don't think completely posted-but is a letter from a wife who lost her husband who is railing against anybody and everybody except for herself and her husband-he served several tours, she served one- as marines-she calls him a "hero")I am BEYOND my limit. Why is it that even the so-called anti-war movement in this country, the gamut of them, do NOT condemn our soldiers serving our fascist regime? How is it that you can be against the war and yet still try to project blame onto anybody and everybody except for the soldiers serving? Why is it that people in my country cannot see that our soldiers are committing war crimes against your people? Why is it that people here can just meander through their days and at most "regret" Iraqi deaths. Why is it that they STILL do not have the guts to say it like it is, there wouldn't BE any war on your country if people said HELL NO I WON"T GO AND KILL INNOCENT PEOPLE? Why is it that people here say "Muslims don't condemn terror or they don't condemn it enoough" when they DO and repeatedly say so but there is so LITTLE outcry here over Iraqi deaths and when there IS, there is no outcry over those perpetrating it? Muslims are supposed to decry terror, but NO ONE here will condemn those doing the killing of your people even if they ARE anti-war. Whatever happened to personal responsibility? If it were a murder of an American they sure as hell would condemn the killer. Almost one million deaths did NOT just happen because George Bush and company decided to wage an illegal and IMMORAL war, those happened because SOLDIERS AND THE OCCUPATION DID IT. I have been following and involved in a small way, but Layla, this is what I have observed, the LAST reason given by those (not 100% but FAR too many)against this war is the death of Iraqis. Their cute slogans, "No child left behind, war leaves American children behind" make me want to PUKE!! Their reasons, a drain on our economy, the rising deficit, the recruitment of so many underprivilaged youth, it is STILL about America. HELLO you people out there, this is NOT about America, this is about Iraq and all the people we have killed!!! America is the one in need of liberation, liberation from a hubris SO evil it is completely unbelievable.
Layla Anwar hits the big time! Well deserved congratulations.
Keep writing Layla.
I feel like 'a good German'.

PS One of my ancestors was Richard kalb el assad (Richard the LionHeart) one of the original crusaders, and, until I grew up, I was proud of him.
Today on 1st May 2007 Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki warned that persistent violence in Iraq could spill over into neighboring countries, including those that are "supposed to support the Iraqi government." meaning it could spill to Saudi, Kuwait, Jordan & Syria? How come it didnot spill till now? Is he aware of something we dont know about? After all he is put there becasue of his connection with the CIA.
Bush has his eyes on Saudi Oil & Qatar Gas. If the Fat guy in Venuzela (chavez) was not making so much noise & Russia had accepted the Missile stations , he would have invaded Iran.
Our only chance is to remain UNITED.And be ENLIGHTENED about his plans & tell others.
You will not crib & complain about a fellow Arab.
You have to support Iran.
You have to support N.Korea.
There is much information about Bush & his plans for world dominion in documentries films like: Illuminati, Martial Law 9-11, the rise of Police State. 9-11 a lie, etc.
There is an article on an Australian blog about Riverbend leaving Iraq.
Word travels fast doesn't it?

Having said that, I won’t lose sleep on something I have absolutely NO control over
prop
liberate Iraq from its proud past by destroying its history and liberating the Iraqi people from the burden of living.
This is the true "liberation" brought to your country by a nation of fat, indolent and apathetic morons who are led by two homicidal maniacs, Bush and Cheney.
Our hands are awash in two colors: One color is red, the color of all the blood we have shed in Iraq and the other color is black. This shows the true color of our souls and the color of the oil which we are stealing from Iraq.
This reflects the future of our two countries, the U.S. and Iraq, in a nutshell. And it is the attitude of people like jr who are bringing it about.
My dear sister I just wanted to stop by and say hello and let you know I am still around I have been busy working and with little time I've had left have been reconnecting with nature and our Great Spirit.
Your writing as always touches me and gives me much to think about. You are in my thoughts and my heart, and you don't have to thank me because I don't beg for nothing I earn what I work for. LOL!!!
Love you my sister.

* Falluja, Samarra, Tel Afar, Ramadi, Al Quaim, Mahmoudia, Iskanderiya, Baquba, Haditha, Najav, Kerbala, Basra and the slaughters too many to mention, across Iraq.
* The US troops rape of a child and the burning of her family.
* Kicking down doors at 3 a.m., to humiliate, terrify - and steal family jewellery, money, valuables.
* The disappeared in their thousands.
* The destruction of an entire civil society with every institution and all records of its citizens.
* Attempted theft of Iraq's oil. (Not going too well, with the pipelines being blown up - historically, that happens when theft of it looms.)
* Destruction of schools and hospitals and the inability (or lack of will) to rebuild and restock.
* The missing Iraqi and aid $billions in the grand theft auto that is the USA invasion.
* The illegal rewriting of the constituion.
* The installation of a quisling government with loyalties largely, to anywhere but Iraq.
* The death squads under America's watch and for which she is - as an occupying army - responsible.
* The ghetto walls, razor wire, curfews, road blocks in Mansur's 'Round City' on the Tigris, Baghdad - and across the country.
* The soldiers that sell unthinkable photographs of the dead, maimed, tortured to porn sites in exchange for drooling over the depraved.
* Taking a secular state and attempting to turn it into a fundamentalist theocrocy.
* Committing Nuremberg's 'supreme crime', a war of aggression, based on a pack of lies.
* Demands for impeachment increasing by the day.
* The destruction of America and Britain's image for generations to come - and the inability of their citizens to feel safe anywhere, also for generations.
* A death toll heading towards four thousand dead US troops (admitted to) and thousands horrifically injured.
* A trillion$ plus debt and predictions of the collapse of the dollar.
* Madrid, London, Bali, Sharm El Sheikh .... [Who is behind these terror attacks?]
* Near universal loathing.
* The words 'freedom', 'democrocy' and 'liberation', consigned to shame and history's trash can.
* For ever being associated with hoods, shackles and inhumanity and illegality.
Some accomplishment....
Hi and nice meeting you here.
marhaba and ahlain..
I love your anger...and its good and well placed. Keep it up.
Good to see you both here . Been quite some time. Thank you as usual.
Stay safe and well.
Hello to you and am glad you grew up!
your zionist ways are outdated by the way.
Everytime I write about Iraq and Palestine you do two things.
1- you try to dilute the issue by drawing attention to East Timor, Africa and la la land.
2- the second thing that transpires is your obvious hatred for arabs and iraqis and palestinians...they kind of make you allergic.
Am GLAD.
Now your stupid ways need to be rehearsed in a more intelligent fashion.
A big thank you from the bottom of my heart for the following :
- for your hacking attempts
- for trying to send me viruses
-for sending me private mails insulting me with words like arab bitch, old hag...etc
- and for occasionally making me smile.
As a matter of fact come to think of it, you owe ME a big thank you for having tolerated you thus far.
dont let a failed reltion, no matter how cruel it was, make you hostile against all women.
I'm sure someday a woman will discover your beauty within.
one last tip do some weight lifting. It works on the beach
Layla, you are such a little brat..
