- There is an old prophecy among the Iraqis that says that
when the Khan was wounded, after he'd conquered Iraq, that as he went home
to die that he would return some day to once again conquer Baghdad. The
Iraqis remember this prophecy and they have sworn on the Qur'an that when
he returned he might once again burn Baghdad as did Ibn Timur (Tamerlane)
but that they would set fire to his camps wherever they found them until
the Mongols had to go home again.
-
- America was basically a true Christian leaning nation,
America as far as the world was concerned followed Jesus' dictum in the
Beatitudes and in Matthew where Jesus said,
-
- "Blessed are the peacemakers," and things that
relate to justice, peace and mercy. Somehow, Bush, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz
and Allawi have turned the American troops, most of whom were raised as
God-fearing, decent, merciful Christians into Mongols. It's as if they
never read Jesus' words, or that they forgot the New Testament, that they
read the Old Testament or some Mongol book on warfare. Or America may have
let the Mossad of Israel and the IDF teach American troops the Israeli/
Nazi SS style which has been used for years on the Palestinian civilian
population.
-
- There are strong parallels between what happened in
Fallujah
and what the Israelis did in Ramallah, Hebron and other Palestinian cities.
The dictum was, "Destroy everything, kill anything that moves and
terrorize them into submission." This is exactly what our troops are
doing in Iraq, just as their Israeli trainers told them to do. But, as
with Palestine, in the short term it may work, but in the long term, you
will have made enemies who will never forget and who will someday take
their revenge.
-
- Otherwise, why would our young men and women go into
battle saying, "Let's kill'em all," and "Send their souls
to hell," and other such things when they gunned down women, children
and Iraqi resistance fighters. Why would an American helicopter crew gun
down women and children trying to escape Fallujah who were crossing a river
in broad daylight. Why would one of our officers gun down wounded civilians
in a mosque. We have no excuses except that somehow our troops have become
dehumanized. I lay the blame at the U.S. leadership who had the gall and
immoral judgement to bring in the Mossad and the Israeli IDF and to send
commanders to Israel for further training in this brutal style of warfare
not seen since the Mongols (but then again, perhaps we did see it in Viet
Nam with Agent Orange and My Lai, etc. but not on this scale). Perhaps
this is also why even in Israel there are more and more refuseniks, and
in America over 30% of our troops are coming back with mental
problems-because
it's in conflict with their Christian upbringing and for the refuseniks
it's in conflict with the moral aspects of Judaism.
-
- There are hundreds of stories as of this past week from
eye-witnesses, from photographers, from BBC correspondents, from NBC and
from independent writers and people who escaped the blistering shelling
and helicopter straffings who have spoken of women and children trying
to escape the bombing who were gunned down by our troops, gunned down by
helicopters as they were trying to cross a river, being blown to bits by
tanks as they hid in their homes.
-
- THE QUESTION WE MUST ASK OURSELVES IS, WHO MADE OUR
TROOPS
INTO MONGOLS ON A KILLING SPREE? We must also ask, as I did over 2 years
ago, what is going to happen "'When the Killers Come Home"? We
already have evidence from North Carolina and other bases that many of
these men abused their wives on their return, others killed them, others
are so mentally sick that they cannot return home. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE
CHRISTIAN TRAINING OUR TROOPS HAD. I think it has been corrupted by the
un-Christian commanders who claim they are Christians, like General Boykin,
Settle in Morocco, Bush in the White House and the Israeli influence on
our military commanders. This also is related to the new batch of ministers
that have been sent in by the military, most of whom are "born again
Christians, " who have somehow developed a hatred for Islam and an
allegiance to Israel through their political indoctrination by such as
Billy Graham, Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson.
-
- A friend of mine, a Christian minister had asked the
same questions when he visited Camp Pendleton, the big Marine base close
to San Diego. I do not use his name or denomination for fear of what he
called, "possible reprisals from the base command," but he said
that many hundreds of troops who came back from Iraq had either turned
so cold that they refused to talk about Christ and mercy, and others broke
down and cried about what they'd done to women and children. Many of them
spoke of the commanders ordering them to terrorize everyone in Iraq in
order to make victory short and sweet, that these Iraqis were
"heathens,"
and "sons and daughters of satan," and that they were doing
"God's
work." Unfortunately, too few of our troops have had the courage to
say, "NO." Or the intelligence or religious training to know
how to stand up to what was an obvious lie and distortion of the teachings
of Jesus Christ.
-
- IT IS TIME TO CALL GEORGE BUSH, IYAD ALLAWI, DONALD
RUMSFELD,
PAUL WOLFOWITZ, GENERAL MYERS, GENERAL ABIZAID BEFORE A CIVILIAN TRIBUNAL,
MADE UP OF HONEST SENATORS AND CITIZENS, TO PUT A STOP THIS NEW MONGOL
HORDE, AND IF NECESSARY PUT THEM UP BEFORE A CIVILIAN JUDGE OR AN
INTERNATIONAL
COURT TO BE TRIED FOR WAR CRIMES AGAINST CIVILIANS IN IRAQ, ESPECIALLY
IN FALLUJAH, IN BAGHDAD AND IN OTHER CITIES WHERE THEY HAVE ATTACKED
CIVILIAN
POPULATIONS WITH UNDUE FORCE AND THEN, AS IN FALLUJAH, DEPRIVED THEM OF
MEDICINES, WATER, FOOD AND A CHANCE TO SAFELY ESCAPE.
-
- My- Lai in VietNam pales beside the butchery our
Mongol-like
troops, on the ground and in the air, have performed against these
civilians
and even against the resistance fighters who were but defending their
families,
their homes, their city and their country. Wouldn't we have done the same;
wouldn't we do the same, defend our families, our homes, our cities and
our country?
-
- It is time we all did something about this, for a start,
send this article to your ministers, to your rabbis, to your friends and
most of all to your senators and congressmen and to George W. Bush himself
so that he may hopefully wake-up from the narcotic of war and return to
the words of Jesus, "Mercy, " and "Blessed are the
peacemakers,"
not those who make war or kill women and children.
-
- This curse of the Mongols is on his head and ours if
we don't stop this-Bush has no mandate from God or man to order the killing
on this scale (and yes, he is the man who pulls the strings on Allawi,
to order this brutal and inhumane attack on Fallujah), everyone knows that
unless they were born without a brain or a moral conscience.
-
- As you are all aware, the world now sees us as butchers.
One German friend said it reminded him of Dresden; I agree. One British
friend who has lived in London all his life said it reminded him of when
Hitler would bomb and sent rockets into London in WWII. A friend who served
in Viet Nam said he can no longer watch the news because it brings back
memories of atrocities in Viet Nam. Muslims from all over the world have
written me saying they cannot believe the Americans have allowed themselves
to become so bestial-they now see America as in league with the devil.
Ironically, Khomeni could not get anyone to see America as "the great
satan," but it took George W. Bush and his minions only a few years
to do exactly that, to show America is now the great satan in Muslim
eyes.
-
- We must all do what we can to turn our nation around.
After all, as I pointed out, this election and the previous one did not
give G.W. Bush a mandate to do these brutal things in the world. His
pursuit
of war and his bullying is going to backfire, but we must find legal ways
to stop him spreading his bestiality further. Even now, the Russians have
created a new nuclear device, the Chinese and Russians the Sunburn Missile
and its successor that can destroy ships with one missile (so much for
our vaunted carrier fleets)-the world is becoming aware that Bush's
voracious
appetite for power may lead to a world war of devastating consequences.
If we can stop his carnage and his illegal puppet government I Iraq, it
will be a good start to righting the world.
-
- It's time we all pull together and become creative in
ways to legally stop this mongol leader of ours; if not, then we shall
be judged guilty along with him when the court calls us to justice either
on the earth, or if you are a religious person, on the Day of Judgement
before God.
