WHY WE ARE HATED
One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It is simply too painful to acknowledge -- even to ourselves -- that we've been so credulous: Carl Sagan
WHY WE ARE HATED
We are hated because we have allowed ourselves to be controlled by fear and have lost our soul and its moorings in the process.
Never had a country so many openings to happiness as this.
Her setting out is life, like the rising of a fair morning, was unclouded and promising .
Her cause was good.
Her principles just and liberal.
Her temper serene and firm.
Her conduct regulated by the nicest steps, and everything about her wore the mark of honor.
It is not every country that can boast so fair
an origin : Thomas Paine
We are hated because we have let greed and power overcome goodwill, cooperation and altruism .
America has lighted a candle to all the world : Patrick Henry
We are hated because we have forgotten where we came from.
Wise and good men are, in my opinion, the strength of the state ; much more so than riches and arms : Benjamin Franklin
We are hated because we have desecrated the word Democracy and made it into an instrument of conquest.
For we know that when a nation goes down and never comes back, when a society or civilization perishes, one condition may always be found ~ they forgot where they came from .
They lost sight of what brought them along : Carl sandburg
But perhaps the words of a young Iraqi woman can best describe the truth of our so called liberation of Iraq and why we are hated .
THE LIBERATORS
Nasreen Melek
The American police used dogs to frighten detained Iraqi teenagers, I see the fear on their faces from the pictures but they keep asking why do they hate us.
The American army were using their animals to make juveniles as young as 15 years old urinate on themselves as part of a competition but they keep asking why do they hate us.
The whole world watched the images of the Iraqi prisoners being strangled and dragged on the floor but they keep asking why do they hate us.
Their military personnel stacked the Iraqi prisoners bodies in a pyramid, wrote on their skin in English but they keep asking why do they hate us.
Male prisoners are positioned to simulate sex with each other, the American soldiers are laughing, posing, pointing or giving the camera a thumb-up but they keep asking why do they hate us.
Cluster bombs were used against Iraqi civilians but they keep asking why do they hate us.
Iraqi prisoners’ heads were covered with plastic bags, their hands were cuffed with plastic ribbons in front of their wives and children but they keep asking why do they hate us.
More than 10,000 Iraqis were killed during their liberation but they keep asking why do they hate us.
They bombed religious shrines but they keep asking why do they hate us.
They banned the media from their crime stage so there will be no witnesses but they keep asking why do they hate us.
Their bombs destroyed Allah’s name on the walls of shrine but they keep asking why do they hate us.
Iraqi scientists, lawyers, academics were shot in front of the American soldiers’ eyes but they keep asking why do they hate us.
Cemeteries were bombed in Najaf but they keep asking why do they hate us.
They demolished civilian’s houses but they keep asking why do they hate us.
They kidnapped our past, present and future but they keep asking why do they hate us.
There were no weapon of mass destruction and the whole country was destroyed because of their greed for the oil but they keep asking why do they hate us.
Am I losing my sanity or what? Please give me one reason to love them, to cherish their presence in my country and to see them as liberators.
ONLY LOVE HEALS
