This is my response to Dr Abdulkhaliq.Hussein’s article
http://www.ahewar.org/debat/show.art.asp?aid=182037, in which, to improve the security situation in Iraq following the terrible incidents of last Wednesday, he suggests in point 6 that the US troops return to the Green Zone.
My response:
I disagree fully with point 6 regarding your call for the return of US troops into the Green Zone. Well, your call, with all respect, entails some dismissal, mot likely unintentional though still extremely worrying, of the sufferings of those living outside the Green Zone. Why are those living in the Green Zone should need (more) protection, and in particular, as you call for, a US protection? Are those living in the Green Zone more noble or human than those living outside this ugly, infamous Zone? All evidence indicate that those living in the Green Zone are a bunch of corrupts and depraved, incompetent politicians, who have dissociated themselves from those outside the Zone, that is the vast majority of Iraqi people.
The presence of a Green Zone is a disgrace and scandalous, confirming, in physical terms, that the Iraqi government and parliament are only interested in pushing their own agendas, at the expense of whole Iraq and its people.
However, and this is not Schadenfreude-as they live like frightened rats in their Big Hole (their HOLY Green Zone). But it seems that even the BIG HOLE has not been able to protect these frightened creatures. What perhaps they need now is a more secure Green Zone within the Green Zone they have now and the Green Zones could multiply themselves endlessly. Well, why not, they have robbed all the wealth of Iraq, so they could afford building more zones and holes to protect their pathetic existence.
The Green Zone should be abolished immediately and the so-called politicians living there should leave the Green Zone and start living among their people and share their destiny, however it is brutal or bloody. Otherwise, they have neither the credibility nor the legitimacy to claim representing Iraqi people. They might regain some of both by doing do.
