Who and When Will Bring Justice to the Iraqi People?

If there was a divine or humane justice, those that have reduced a country like Iraq to absolute chaos, would be sitting in front of an international penal court answering for their crimes against humanity, life and the world. But the team that is the leader in the world power game remains with all its tranquillity working on the destruction.

Today, human life in Iraq has no value. Barbarism has cleared way as a form of survival, the majority of the infrastructures have been destroyed; to sum it up, they have assassinated a country and given the people up to the murderers and thieves. Here we have the results of the United States invasion. Decided by one man and his malicious team influenced by profound racism and religious fanaticism under which they hide and their interests covered decoratively under the name of democracy.

The country finds itself without any form of structure. The society devastated. The religious beliefs serve as a starting point for a few. The Shiites are in power, put there by the United States of America. The Sunnis fight against them. Almost no foreign journalist ventures to this country. The kidnapping and executions of various has completed persuading any possible safe visit undercover or as said profession. There are eighteen hostages who remain in the hands of killers.

We have all seen the images of Baghdad, the historically rich history and beauty. Today it is a combat zone, as has been for the past 5 years and counting. People die without knowing why and others fight as mercenaries without knowing who benefits from their actions. These attacks themselves mainly affect women and children. Life in Iraq no longer resembles anything at all….Those that can run- do so, others exist as they can- and a few double their fierceness in an unwanted war whose necessity and end does not come far from astonishing all.

It has become an ideal stage for the mafia to prosper and do business. The fact is that it comes under the same credentials as foreign army that has invaded Iraq- “Bringing Democracy and Well-Being to the Country” These said businessmen hold tight onto their picture of a religious leader with confidence in obtaining protection. One owner of a business has confessed that he has lost his faith, he no longer believes in anything and he only confides in one day the ability to leave this Hell. But Mr. War and Company continues to puppeteer and never stops getting richer. An old story, but know too well!

In this war where religion plays the most detestable role that one could imagine, where religion divides without truce and arms one against another, the human being no longer knows which God to go to. Many Iraqi Christians have been massacred. No one has spoken of these. Those that have been able to exile are the few and lucky (they are a minority, in truth, in the mortal game). It is the hour of fanaticism and without reasoning, the fanaticism without hue or comparison.

A friend of mine, had discovered this delightful country in 1975, Sadam had not reached the presidency. He told me about a country that invested everything in its culture. He spoke of a country that was fed by artists and writers who had not suffered any censorship. There was a phenomenal university. The state retained a good portion of money from petroleum for Arts and Philosophy. It was when Baghdad inspired to be as Cairo, capital of Arab culture. It was not a western democracy, but the Baas party bet on culture and respected the creators.

Later Sadam came to power and misfortune took over the country. Actually, today, the disgrace is named Bush. Sadam began the mass destruction of Iraq; Bush took over the crowning of the task with the worst possible conditions.

So again I ask, who and when will bring justice to the people of Iraq?
