The Smile of Steel

The US government initiated a war based on lies and killed over one million Iraqis, injured many more, created at least four million refugees and completely destroyed Iraq. Everything.
Shops, schools, power plants, water supplies, sewerage, mosques, hospitals, electricity, social networks, homes, museums, orchards, weddings, … You name it, they destroyed it.

When survivors of the Shock-and-Awe destruction organized a resistance and took back sections of their country, we hear that they are monsters. The invaders, destroyers, murderers and occupiers tell us that the natives of the country are monsters. This has always been the language of Pharaohs, Kings, Emperors and now CEOs.

The invaders, destroyers, murderers and occupiers don’t tell us that the monsters are Sunni Iraqis. Sunni represents at least 90% of all Muslims.

The invaders, destroyers, murderers and occupiers are telling us that the survivors among the people who were murdered are monsters. Do you see anything wrong with this picture?

The “artists” who paint the native resistance fighters in horrible colors want us to believe that it would be perfectly alright to bomb the areas, along with the people living there, to kill as many monsters as possible. We have to kill Iraqis to save Iraq.

Haven’t I heard this loop before?
