When he was buried in May, Majd al-Kurdy was nearly unrecognizable. His face was severely disfigured. He had cuts to the chest, long vertical slashes on the thighs, and what looked like gunshot wounds on the back of his legs.

Majd was buried with his brother So’dat, who also showed signs of mutilation. They were Syrians, two of nine young men seized by the Syrian army during an attack in Tell Kalakh.

During the raid, scores of men were arbitrarily arrested and tortured, including people already wounded. Security forces shot people as they fled to Lebanon.

Majd’s body was returned to his family in a nylon sack. They identified him by the tattoo of his girlfriend on his upper arm.

It’s a detail I cannot shake.

This is the worst news for America

America will not tolerate this return to a totally superstitious CONTROL-ENGINE

Omar Khayyám, the most enlightened prophet of Iraq and Mesopotamia would turn over in his grave!

After all the blood, money and agony of the past 10 years, the leaders we have tried to help, namely Malaki and the Shiite monopoly have turned against us with their total superstitious mind-deadoning Religious Monopoly.

ALLAWI WINS! IRAQ WINS!

We have the opportunity to restore Iraq to the beauty and international stature that it was historically.

We are on the brink of success IF… AND ONLY IF we in America with all possible support and assistance from the UN bring this current election to a close!

The beautiful Preamble to Iraq’s new Constitution stresses the vital necessity of transforming Iraq into a SECULAR country… where all citizens are judged solely upon their contribution to Iraq and the examples they set for Iraq’s total population to live in Peace and Harmony finally without the horrible, in-humane, inexcusable, devastating sectarian bombings that have killed and maimed Iraqi citizens for seven years.

Therefore…

WITH THIS PROVISO:

That American military might (90,000 American soldiers are presently in Iraq, but not in the cities!) These forces, plus whatever additional strength is needed, must be enlisted as the “Strong Right Arm” of Justice, Order, and Protection for all Iraqi citizens – men, women, and children – regardless of where they live – cities, marshes, deserts… anyplace!

In short…
America must go back to the advice of General Colin Powell:

“We broke it… we must fix it!”

This is the moral obligation of the United States of America!

If we fail to deliver this promise we will be fairly and justly SCORNED by all humanity world wide… for initiating a devastating invasion that tore an existing national control system down together with the power-base that then prevented chaos among the populace…

…without providing a new power structure to protect the population of Iraq from new forms of crime and corruption like the suicide bombings that killed and terrorized Iraqis ever since.

Now, basic human honor and respect and humanitarian values require the United States of America to provide all necessary military and police protection together with whatever the UN can provide to create a condition of absolute law and order so the people of Iraq can go about their daily lives without the fear of being killed or blown apart – which is the present condition-because of the radical, inhuman, sectarianism that permeates the entire country of Iraq since our occupation in 2003.

This we must do!

Basic laws of justice and humanity dictate that we Americans do no less.

United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights

To refresh your understanding of your own obligations as a Human Being–and those of all other Human Beings–Please read the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights

As you know, the United Nations was created in the aftermath of WWII– with all the horrible killing and devastation in so many countries of so many hundreds of thousands of human beings. It only seemed right for all those people in all those countries initiated by the United States of America to come together and devise an organization that would ensure the future cooperation and harmony of all the various countries of the world–rather than the terrible, selfish and destructive actions of any country to defeat any future effort to resolve any future dispute by war instead of future negotiation.

You and I and all the countries of the world must, for the sake of sanity and respect for other human beings, must always resolve any differences without conflict or war.

But lets look around and recognize the conflicts that we have already in:

This is bad enough, BUT consider how much worse it might be if the United Nations and its dedicated “BLUE HELMET” peace keeping forces did not exist.


It’s time to declare AYAD ALLAWI’s coalition, THE IRAQI NATIONAL MOVEMENT (Iraqiya) the winners in the March Parliamentary elections. The United Nations was deeply involved in the election process, working with the Iraqi High Electoral Commission, and they have certified the validity and legitimacy of the election results.

Prime Minister Malaki

It’s time for Prime Minister al-Malaki to accept Allawi’s victory!

Iraqi’s win represents a bold new direction for Iraq: A government based on the secular equality of all citizens instead of the current government, which is dominated by Shiites. Allawi’s win represents the triumph of democratic pluralism over sectarian tribalism.

A passage in the beautifully written PREAMBLE of the IRAQI CONSTITUTION deals with the dangerous dilemma now facing Iraq: “Sectarianism and racism have not stopped us from marching together to strengthen our national unity, and to follow the path of peaceful transfer of power…”

In Nov., 2007, Allawi wrote: “Building democracy in Iraq will be a long-term process, established through the rule of law, a stable security environment, functioning state institutions and an emerging civil society. The alternative is continuing down the road we are headed, which leads directly to the disintegration of Iraq!”

The CRISIS IN IRAQ at the moment concerns al-Malaki’s refusal to accept the election results. He is rejecting the “PATH OF PEACEFUL TRANSFER OF POWER” that the preamble talks about.

Al-Malaki is now claiming that 750,000 votes that went to Allawi supporters were fraudulent, which would tip the election in his favor. He has submitted his complaints to an election appeals committee within the High Electoral Commission, and is demanding a recount in five provinces, including Baghdad, which has 68 seats in the 325-member Parliament.

Al-Malaki’s STATE OF LAW bloc, with 89 seats, lost to IRAQIYA, which won 91 seats. If IRAQIYA forms alliances with smaller parties and gains 163 seats, it wins the right to form the new government and appoint the next prime minister.

This is precisely what al-Malaki is trying to prevent, and in so doing, subvert the electoral process and the PATH OF PEACEFUL TRANSFER OF POWER.

Iraq stands at the crossroads. Will the rule of law and their Constitution prevail, or will democracy be strangled by al-Malaki machinations to sabotage the election results?

America has come too far and sacrificed too much to remain passive onlookers while al-Malaki and the Shiite majority derail their fledgling democracy. We still have about 90,000 troops in Iraq. Obama must be willing to use them to back up the United Nations in its efforts to certify the election results as they stand now.

To continue with Sectarian rule, that puts one group at advantage over all others will continue to divide the people of Iraq and produce the same infighting and violence we have witnessed throughout history. It’s time for this to change and we must help the Iraqi people be victorious based on their own votes.

A win for secular Allawi is a win for Iraqi democracy!
