read these: war in baghdad, iraqi freedom, military deployment to the war zone, casualties, 24 hour media coverage of the war, families worrying about lovedones in the war, thousands of iraqi fleeing their homes. looks familiar? yes, these has been the cover story of media and newsprint for days now. i don't blame them. every american is somewhat affected of the war in iraq.
i do not want to stand on any side. i feel that the iraqis have the right to have democracy liek we have here in america. i believe that saddam hussein should be ousted of his presidency so these people can have freedom. i know it is our american soldiers duty to defend the oppressed peopel of iraq against hussein's regime. but i do not agree with involving and exposing the innocent iraqi people with the war.
picture the children, the worried mothers, the growing teenage males who were holding guns ...ready to fight for their country.have you seen the images of the thousand iraqis fighting over food ration? while america is living in its comfort zone, the innocent civilians of iraq fights over basic necessities. it pains my souls to see the children suffer the most: the trauma, the poverty, the pictures of war and dying and injured.
yes...this is a war against saddam. yes, i am proud i am an american. yes, if i was called, i will probably defend my country, too. but to the little child eye, this is another war: a war of hunger, a war of poverty, a pinch of hope...to rebuild tommorrow. probably still praying and asking, when will that tomorrow come. how will tomorrow be?
will it be a white flag flying in the air? perhaps, a call for peace? wilit be another hunger where there's a mad rush just for water? will it be iages of the multiplying population of iaqis leaving their homes? will it be the fire works of missiles and bombs? or the buzzling noise of the sirens and guns?
picture this: you were the raqi child in the middle these chaos. now answer me, really, when will tomorrow come?
