Ami stay here!
In seinem wie immer lesenswerten Blog schildert Michael Totten, der sich derzeit im Irak aufhält, wie ein Iraker amerikanischen Soldaten folgende Worte mit auf den Weg gibt:
“When you came and liberated this country, [...] Iraq had 25 million Saddams. America is turning us back into human beings. [...] We appreciate that. We believe that if Americans have something that is ours, they will return it to us. If the Iraqi government has something that is ours, we forget it. [...] We support you [...] You support our back, we support your back. But you must understand: If you pull back, we will pull back. I will have no choice but to pull back if I can’t depend on you. It will be much harder for us to stand together. But as long as you stand firmly behind us we will support you against Moqtada al Sadr and the other bastards in the area.”
Da bin ich mal gespannt, was die Irakkriegsgegner und sonstigen Rückzugsbefürworter diesem irakischen Bürger erwidern würden. Und vor allem, ob sie es überhaupt versuchen.
