An Iraqi Speaks to Cindy
Mohammed at Iraq The Model addresses a post to Cindy Sheehan:
Ma’am, we asked for your nation’s help and we asked you to stand with us in our war and your nation’s act was (and still is) an act of ultimate courage and unmatched sense of humanity.Our request is justified, death was our daily bread and a million Iraqi mothers were expecting death to knock on their doors at any second to claim someone from their families.
Your face doesn’t look strange to me at all; I see it everyday on endless numbers of Iraqi women who were struck by losses like yours.
[...]
Your son sacrificed his life for a very noble cause…No, he sacrificed himself for the most precious value in this existence; that is freedom.His blood didn’t go in vain; your son and our brethren are drawing a great example of selflessness.
God bless his free soul and God bless the souls of his comrades who are fighting evil.
God bless the souls of Iraqis who suffered and died for the sake of freedom.
God bless all the freedom lovers on earth.
You want to know what your son died for, Cindy? Here is your answer. Read the whole thing.
What that Iraqi said makes no sense at all. Why should American mothers sacrifice their sons to fight against a bad government Iraq? IRAQI sons should be fighting to bring freedom to Iraq, NOT Americans.
Why didn’t that Iraqi fight against Saddam Hussein? Why isn’t HE risking HIS life to fight the insurgency? How dare he speak with this morally superior entitlement that American boys should be dying for his country. I hardly think that will provide any solace to Cindy Sheehan.
The American military exists to defend AMERICAN freedom and AMERICAN interests. We don’t have a military in order to bring freedom to other countries, and if you think we should, then do you advocate that we also wage war in North Korea, Cuba, Saudi Arabi, Pakistan, Syria, and every other place where the government is bad and the people are not free?
What a stupid, stupid post – telling this American woman to be happy because her son died to help the people of Iraq. That is not what our military is for and is not how it should be used.
Blah, blah, blah. You clearly have no capacity to see beyond your own nose.
Brilliant response – good to see that the only reason you’re notable isn’t because you’re both gay AND some right-wing moron who spouts every pro-war cliche laying on the alleyways and beside the dumpsters on the Internet.
You also have a capacity for real substantive response, as this retort of yours demonstrates.
If you and that Iraqi think that freedom for Iraqis is so important, why don’t YOU and HE go and fight for it, instead of sending Casey Sheehan and 2,000 like him to go die for your “noble cause?”
You seem to be under the mistaken impression that I owe you a retort. People like yourself have clearly proven time and time again you can’t be reasoned with and I don’t have the energy to try any more.
Here – I’m sure this is something you can get on board with.
