Apparently this fellow from outside the U.S. has not been watching Fox or reading InstaIgnorance. An excerpt (footnotes are omitted, but are in the original):
"Dear Americans (I am here addressing only those of you who are rationally choosing to prolong the suffering of the human race for 4 more years):
"Just this past week, Iraqis had the equivalent death toll of 9/11. In fact, they have one every week or two, on average, thanks to your sickening and utterly irrational support for the neo-con gang at the helm of power in Washington.
"I, and I bet most people around the earth, cannot take it any more! The pictures from Iraq are gruesomely clear: your armed forces are committing awful war crimes, killing Iraqis in a wedding party; killing Iraqis dancing around a burnt out Bradley; killing Iraqis in custody by beating them to death; killing Iraqis sitting in their homes, sleeping on their roofs to escape the heat, or walking down the streets; just killing, butchering with impunity, brutality and nauseating repetitiveness.
"And when they are not murdering, your proud soldiers are shattering souls and trying to efface human dignity. They torture prisoners with a barbarism that was thought extinct. A 14 year-old was 'bleeding from his anus' after your soldiers raped him with a metal object. Two more children were terrorized by dogs 'for the purposes of a game between the two dog teams to see ... if they could get their bowel or bladder to move.' Another child was raped in detention, while older inmates were 'ridden like animals' or 'forced to eat pork and drink alcohol in contravention of their religion.' A teenage girl was 'repeatedly raped' by your servicemen, while older female prisoners were paraded 'naked in front of male prisoners.' Prisoners were put on dog leashes, stripped naked for days on end, severely beaten, bruised, made to lie 'in their own faeces.' A prisoner was sodomized with a 'chemical light,' others with a 'broom stick.' Simply put, Iraqi detainees -- held without due process, without charges or trials -- were subjected to 'sadistic, blatant and wanton criminal abuses,' as US general Taguba, who investigated the Abu-Ghraib torture, wrote.
"Your leaders who issue the orders to those soldiers, who free them of any obligations before international law, and who create the racist environment conducive to their unforgivable behavior, have stopped perceiving Iraqis as humans a while ago. But lately they themselves seem to have lost any semblance of human behavior; they've lost whatever claim to morality or human decency they ever had.
"And when you mourned the death of more than 1,000 of your fallen soldiers, those brainwashed killing machines, you were apathetic towards the estimated 37,000 Iraqis who were killed as a result of your illegal war and even less legal occupation. Are you still capable of recognizing them as fully human? I hope so, for failing to do so would entail a corresponding failure on your part to recognize the human in yourselves. Your intrinsic human trait of feeling compassion for fellow humans seems to have been deeply corrupted, blunted or tranquillized. We, Arabs and/or Muslims, simply do not show on your radar of relevant humans.
"You've lost your alibi!
"In a democracy, the majority deserves no better than the leaders they elect. No better. No worse. You seem to have chosen Bush. You deserve no less a menace to everything humane, civilized or ethical than him."
