Open letter to George W Bush

Dear Mr. Bush,

Well, well, well..... looks like your foot-in-mouth disease has increased with age. This is what you had to say at Woodrow Wilson International Centre for Scholors:

"It is true that much of the intelligence turned out to be wrong. As President I
am responsible for the decision to go into Iraq."


So today you have accepted the responsibility for going to war with faulty intelligence. Now that you have accepted that your were at fault, will you bring back to life the 30,000 people killed in the Iraq war? I hear you saying a faint “No“. If God gave you the right to kill these people, surely he gave you the right to bring them back to life. Oh, he forgot to give you that power? Too bad, because now the blood of these people is on your hands. I wonder how you sleep at night.

Now that you have managed to sway the precarious balance of cultural ethnicity (Sunnis, Shias, Kurds, Others) in Iraq, how you bring back the peace? How will you stop the suicide attacks? Oh, maybe they solve your purpose. More people dying means less population to rule over and lesser number of people to raise their voice against you.

You stood at the Woodrow Wilson International Centre while you said the above words but forgot what Woodrow himself once said. I will jog your memory and remind you that Woodrow Wilson once said “I would rather belong to a poor nation that was free than to a rich nation that had ceased to be in love with liberty.“

Well it seems Mr. Bush you have forgotten what liberty means. The meaning of the word in this context is 'freedom to live and freedom to choose'. You have ceased to give this to the people of Iraq. You chose to come into their country, kill people, give them a government which runs on your tunes.

To say -I am sorry, I was wrong is as bad as saying 'All is fair in Love and War'. You have forgotten the love part but remember the part which talks about 'war' and implemented it to the T.

But you still believe:

“We are in Iraq today because our goal has always been more than the
removal of brutal dictator.It is to leave a free and democratic Iraq in his
place....My decision to remove Saddam Hussein was the right decision. Saddam was
a threat and the American people and the world is better off because he is no
longer in power".

Your goal has always been more that removal of Saddam. A country rich in oil and it prime geo-political location is your favourite country. Remember when you installed your men in northern Iraq (Kurdish region), years ago? The 32nd parallel where Iraqi planes were not allowed to fly? You were waiting for the right moment to capture the rest of the county.

Now that you can keep a watch over this part of Asia, why not spare Iran, the agony?

Love and Peace.

Regards
Zephie
