A truly excellent poem.

This is an excellant read, I feel Iraq is still a prison, will our leaders never learn one countrys bloodshed is no different from anothers, maybe greater with technology but no better,
All the mothers join and weep.
Thankyou for sharing.

Superb commentry narrating the acts of a tyrant and the blood sacrifices made both by the Military and civilians caught up in both of the recent Iraq conflicts.

Harrowing subject matter, but penned with great rhyme and rhythm.

I suppose you think that you have stated the facts, but the ignorant always thinks that way.

Now, read a few facts that can be verified, by even you.
(a) Iraq and its people had nothing to with the deaths in the twins towers and elsewhere, but you brought freedom;

(b) You and the rest of America have created your gulag for tens of the thousands of men, women and children, in which you tortured them, but you brought freedom;

(c) You and the rest of America killed more than 1 million Iraqis, and yet you brought freedom;

(d) More than 4 million Iraqis became refugees in neigbouring and distant countries, but your brought freedom;

(e) You and the rest of America destroyed schools, hospital and even ordinary homes. Indeed, you destroyed the country, but your brought freedom.

(f) Well before America invaded Iraq, you and the rest of America have caused the deaths of tens of thousands of children by preventing medicine from being imported, but you brought freedom;

and (g) you and the rest of America have invaded more countries than any other country in world and you and the rest of America have killed tens of millions of men, women and children, but you have brought freedom;

It is likely that your history books have been the American evening news, and I would like to suggest that you take the time to study your own history, carefully and learn the bloody path of destruction and death, that America has produced within your own borders and across the world.

And since you are a man of freedom, perhaps you would take the time to check the catalog of freedoms that you have, right now. And while you are doing that, it may be useful to learn what freedom is. Janze
