Iraqi Kids
Being Trained to become Terrorists

I just can’t believe what I have just seen. This is madness. About twenty
Iraqi children were being trained to kidnap and kill at what seems to be an
al-Qaeda training camp somewhere in the country yard. I noticed that all
these children were Iraqi and the ones who were training them were Iraqi too
from the Iraqi Arabic accent they were speaking.
The U.S. military released a video in Baghdad yesterday, saying it was
seized during a raid in December in Khan Bani Saad, north of Baghdad. Those
who were training the kids stood behind the camera. They watch the kids as
they break into a house and capture the people sleeping on the floor inside.
They watch them as they stop a man on a bike ordering him to sit on his
knees and put his hands behind his back while they direct their AK47s on his
head and chest. Some of their moves appeared to be similar to al-Qaeda’s,
but the rest looks more like a military training. I believe most of those
trainers were members of the disbanded Iraqi army who decided to take
revenge after Bremer sent them to the streets.
God! What does Iraq have anymore? The entire new generation is going down.
It is impossible Iraq would improve or return to its former shape at least
after having this new generation destroyed. Of course, they are destroyed!
They have nothing to see except death, bombs, warplanes, helicopters, dead
and wounded bodies, shootings, beheadings etc… It has been five years since
the war started. It has been five years of their eight or ten years, seeing
all of these things in front of their eyes. It’s been five years of complete
failure of the Iraqi politicians to sit down and see how grave the danger
surrounding us has become. It has been five years of concentrating on who
gets more, who changes the flag, and who prays for God. It’s been five
damned years and all Iraqis could see is nothing but collapse, segregation,
hatred, and blast walls surrounding their once opened neighborhoods.
The video was released, but words and actions from our revered government
were not released. What is the parliament doing? Changing the flag? Is that
all they could do? Or what? Approving a law of not opening a bank account in
a bank not in your neighborhood? Or what? Weren’t they supposed to discuss
education, build more schools, lessen the illiteracy rate and change the
children’s way live their lives? Don’t these things worth million times of
what they are doing right now?
Oh and now there will be those optimists opening their mouths, “How dare you
say that. The situation has improved. People are living in peace. There no
al-Qaeda” bla bla bla… The danger is deeper and bigger than these illusions.
These kids who are trained will someday become terrorists and destroy any
peaceful thing in front of them anywhere on earth. And you know what? It’s
not only al-Qaeda whom we should blame for that. It’s a lot of people.
