[Vision2020] An Iraqi Veteran's Testimony

[Sunil Ramalingam]

Dick,

Do you think our ally Turkey will appreciate the creation of a Kurdish state 
in what used to be Iraq?  Your plan will lead to the further repression of 
Kurds by the Turkish government.  Will you then support an invasion of 
Turkey and the change of that government to support human rights in that 
country?

So you want to split up Iraq and then commit genocide in the Middle East.

Given that we now choose to attack other nations at a whim, why should they 
give up the right of self-defense?  You would have them surrender 
sovereignty to us, or be exterminated?  That's insanity, Dick.

I don't know if you've ever lived in a Muslim country, but I have, and I 
don't share your bigoted views of them.  They never wiped out my Christian 
family once, not even the folks next door who had several years to give it a 
shot.  I don't think they want to live like us necessarily, but that doesn't 
mean they hate everyone.

Since you are willing to kill millions of them, men, women, and children, 
doesn't your description of Muslims fit you better?  Aren't you capable of 
hatred that allows mass murder, by your own description?  How are you better 
than the people you despise in the middle east?

Perhaps you wrote your response in a fit of pique.  Do you have another 
definition of victory in Iraq?

By the way, the Kurds are Muslims too.  Shouldn't you kill them too?  And 
why are the Saudis getting off under your plan?  Since there were so many 
Saudis involved in the 9/11 plot, don't you want to kill all of them too?

Sunil
