Disgusting

This is something different form what I first wrote for this entry. I deleted the whole thing after reading two articles over and over.

When the government was formed, I was a little bit optimistic especially when I heard Maliki saying that he is going to do his best to disarm the militias and work for the benefit of Iraq. How stupid I was! Days proved me wrong. Months and months have passed and here I am in America and nothing has changed. I keep asking myself: why there are no loyal people in the government who actually want to do something to help? Why there are ministers who rob form the country’s resources instead of enriching them? Why we hear speeches only and no actions are taken? Why and why and why?

Today, two things frustrated me. The first one was Maliki’s decision to wait to disarm militias. He said this will happen by “the end of this year or the beginning of the coming year.” When I saw the headline in USA Today’s article, I was so frustrated. I read the article and was more frustrated. What the heck he is talking about? Hundreds of people are dying because of the militias and death squads. I mean HUNDREDS!!! Which means a digit followed by two more digits on the right. Each digit is a soul! A life! A person! A mother! A father! A friend! A baby! Are these nothing? Were they born just to be killed? For what? For fake democracy and some stupid slogans? For what? For the sake of a group of white and black turbaned extremists? Does waiting till the end of the year is going to solve something? Let’s count. Let’s suppose there are only 100 people die in Iraq per day. That means 3000 per month which also means 3000 multiplied by 90 days [Oct., Nov., and Dec.] wow! You find out the sum…and wait! Send the number to Maliki because it seems he's bad in Math!

The other thing that made me so frustrated too is that America’s funniest monkey called Maliki and assured him that he still gets support. Bush called Maliki after the latter was scared to death that he might be kicked off because of his failure.

Read what the Washington Post reported:

"He said he was worried about a report that said we were giving him two months,"
White House spokesman Tony Snow told reporters, referring to what Maliki told
Bush in the 15-minute phone conversation.

Snow said Maliki, who he said
brought up the timetable question with Bush, was referring to a "rumor" about
"attempts to replace him" if certain conditions weren't met by a certain
time.


Ok. First of all, he begged Bush! And that’s insulting in our culture. Secondly, if they all say Iraq is a “sovereign democratic country” and that the government “has the full power to do whatever it wants”, why did Maliki sound like Bush is the real prime minister of Iraq? If you are confident of yourself and willing to do something, why do you beg others to keep you in your position? This whole phone call revealed many things including the fact that Maliki is just a puppet in the hands of the US administration.

Instead of acting like this, Maliki should have shown some respect to those who die everyday. Enough humiliating our identity. That’s unendurable. If he is really working for his country, he does not need to beg. He should show us actions to make us believe in what he is doing. Jeeeeeeez! These people make me feel I want to throw up.
