Is one American’s life worthier than thousands of Iraqis?
11/25/2006 6:30:00 PM GMT
The U.S. occupation forces have stood silent and U.S. ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad carelessly ignored daily acts of kidnapping, torture and killing which ripped through Iraq in recent months, particularly following the massive attack on Samarra’s revered Shia Shrine in February 22, believed to be part of a well-planned plot to create schism between Iraq’s Sunnis and Shias.
The U.S. occupiers, responsible for the current chaotic situation in Iraq, have stood silently watching the bloodbath that followed the attack on Samarra which resulted in the destruction of the Golden Dome Mosque of the Two Imams, and the wave of kidnappings and torture that intensified ever since, and threatens to drown the country and the entire Middle East region in a bloody civil war.
Is the life of an American soldier more important than the lives of tens of thousands of Iraqis? stated a recent editorial on Iraq’s Basaer News.
When one U.S. soldier was kidnapped earlier this month in Baghdad, U.S. forces immediately launched a wide search and rescue operation, even forcing people to stay at their homes, while they carried out a house-to- house search.
2,000 U.S. troops and 1,000 Iraqi security forces, backed by armoured vehicles, swept through Baghdad and surrounded the impoverished Shia district of Sadr City, where the American hostage, identified by the military as Spc. Ahmed Qusai al-Taayie, an Iraqi-American translator from Ann Arbor, was abducted.
The U.S. forces widened the scope of their operations and redoubled their efforts, bombing residential areas and homes, which resulted in the death and injury of scores of innocent Iraqis, all in an effort to find one kidnapped American.
The U.S. military also offered a $50,000 reward for anyone who provides or leads to information that would help finding the soldier.
In the wake of the recent deadly attacks that raged in Iraq, Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman Seyed Mohammad Ali Husseini condemned the perpetrators of those attacks, which concentrated mainly in Al Sadr City, and led to the massacre and injury of dozens of innocent civilians.
Husseini blamed the U.S. occupation forces for these savage and terrorist attacks, stressing that the catastrophic situation in Iraq is the outcome of the American President’s decision to invade the country three years ago, as well as the forces' wrong policies, which led to the current chaos in the country.
The U.S. forces moved quickly to save one of their soldiers, but took no action to stop the kidnapping of tens of thousands of Iraqis which took place over the past few months. Thousands of bodies of tortured people have been found in waste dumps, rivers and on sidewalks, and while the occupation forces know the areas where the kidnappings take place and know that torture and murder is taking place, they refuse to intervene to save the situation they created in the first place by invading the country.
The past year witnessed the worst of the murder and torture in Iraq, but the U.S. forces, which claim to be the liberators who came to the country to save it from the hands of the dictator President Saddam Hussein, have done nothing to prevent or even contain it.
