Letter of an Iraqi woman to Americans

1991sudarshan · Sep 28, 2011

USA must immediately vacate from Iraq and Afghanistan! I do not like this arrogant nature of the American Politicians! They think that they can invade any country they wish and wage war! The purpose of the invasion has been achieved and they should back out as soon as possible! Countless innocent lives have been lost and those lives can not be brought back! At least we can not stop the further massacre of civilians in this war for the OIL.

fake or not,at least one person in this world wrote that letter and hate the US that much. Try to overcome that hatred rather than grooming hate with more hate.

Well done of making light of this, Americans, it really shows your sympathetic side.

Have you watched any of the Iraq Veterans against the war videos? Their descriptions of how they razed tower blocks in case there was a single gunman in them? The vets telling us how many innocent people they killed so you could secure oil fields?

If this is real, and even if its not, it probably does accurately represent how a large number of Iraqis feel towards you, then you should wonder what your country has done to them to make them feel that way.

You should be much angrier that this was done in your name.

The troll that posted it was banned. Gee, I wonder why. His other posts were just as simple minded and devisive.

Oh, right, like the UK contingent on Historum is just this BASTION of compassion and sympathy, isn't it?

Careful you don't slip on that glass porch.

Well and truly fake.

Wendia called me a bastion just a few minutes ago so you are right on that score.

I agree with some of the stuff she says in the letter. We should mind our own business and get out of The Middle East, sadly that isn't up to The American people, but to our corrupt government.

The attacks she makes against Americans and our culture is ridiculous especially coming from a Middle Eastern who comes from one of the most backward places on earth.

Way to avoid the issue! I don't recall saying that everyone in the UK is perfect. Can you quote me on this?

Oh right, you can't, because I didn't say it. I suppose its easier to try and fabricate a case for it, rather than defend your country's actions in Iraq, though.

Agreed. At the very least, we shouldn't have invaded Iraq. That was just a stupid move on Bush's part.

However, her rant about the great history of Iraq and the horribleness of the US is just BS. Iraq was created by the British Empire and has no more of a claim to the ancient nations along the Tigris than the US has a claim to the history of the Native Americans. Those societies have long since been assimilated into other empires of history. There is no political, ethnic or cultural link between modern Iraq and Mesopotamia. And the only reason the various factions of Iraq weren't openly killing each other before we got there, was because of a brutal tyrant keeping the peace at gun point.

Our lives have changed ever since "****ing 9/11", and not for the better. We wouldn't have anything to do with your country and your history if it weren't for 9/11.

Kiki19 said:
I know 9/11 had nothing to do with Iraq...but it gave Dubya the fuel to push towards Iraq and the "WMD" mess. Without 9/11, I extremely doubt that Bush would've had any support in "liberating" Iraq.

Since we clearled that Iraq isn't responsible for 9/11.

Wasn't US obejctive there WMD, or purely revange? Because if it is revange US didn't do the job right, none of the terrorists were iraqis in 9/11, but most were saudi arabians, your closest allies in the Middle East.

Also if the people of US were so aware that the war in Iraq serves no purpose, why did they allow Bush to start the war? And most importantly, why didn't anybody seek him after the war, isn't he and his administration responsible for the death of thousends of american soldiers, who died for nothing?

About the letter

In my opinion it is not posted by an iraqi women but by a troll who just want to cause angry response's.
Also if it was posted by an actual iraqi women, if she is so disgusted by the accent of the americans, why does she learn there language, since even my english isn't as good as her's, as i can see in the message.

Also for a person who claims to be part of a great and civilized culture, she has a good grasp of all the curse words in english.

I couldn't have said it better myself...... total fake if you ask me.

There are always going to be "extremists". Just like the Westboro Baptists, or the Klu Klux Klan, or any group really.

And yes... there will be extremists in the Middle East, Women are no exception.

Iraq, Iran, Egypt, whatever...

Isn't it the same geographical distance from Florida to Kentucky?

Even if the letter is a fake, where did you see extremism in it? Let alone .....?

Well, the extremism is the hatred towards another group.

I don't really see any definitive .....ist, or whatever it's called.

I'm just trying to point out, that it is very possible that maniacs, in particular, suicide bombers live abroad, and there are equally dangerous groups living inside our countries.

Not all them are .....ists, but plenty of them are nuts.

Also... Since when did the USA declare war on Iraq for 9/11?

That didn't actually happen did it?

------------

The USA liberated Iraq. So maybe iraq has a few sore losers hanging around?

Also... to think there aren't people who are borderline crazy in our society ready to kill us for no good reason except blind hatred is a little naive.

In the west, it's not so much "suicide bombers" but perhaps it has more to do with shooters?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_shooting#United_States

There are nuts everywhere. Women are no exception.

It seems to me that that hatred is justified.
