We want the Americans to go back home. Iraq is our country, not theirs.
However, the Americans seem to think it is their country. It is not theirs now, nor will it ever be theirs, unless they kill all of us, men, women and children.
We are raising our children to resist this illegal, this immoral, this un-Christian occupation. I am a Christian, my husband is a Muslim, we both want the Americans out. They are causing us nothing but harm, sickness, poverty and lawlessness.

We did not like Saddam Hussein, but at least under him we had clean drinking water, good hospitals, food on the table, safety in the streets and our homes were not attacked day and night by foreign troops. All we have now is misery, poverty, disease and fear. We never know when American troops will raid our homes, steal our jewels and money, rape our women, beat our men and scare our chidren.

I am an educator in Baghdad. The trauma suffered by our children will last for generations. This trauma will also make these children hate the Americans and the British, but the Americans more because we know that George Bush Jr. was behind this rape our country, its schools, it culture and its people.

We will continue fighting back against this occupation, this rape, so long as any of us has a breath or an ounce of blood. We also know our Arab and Muslim and Christian brothers and sisters will come from other lands to help us drive out these devils that dress in the clothes of Americans. We also know that there are many Israelis here, both the Mossad and military advisors, and investors who are trying to steal our oil, our land and our resources. One day, we shall drive them all out, and may God punish these evil-doers. May Jesus Christ himself lead the charge against these devils who call themselves Christians and Jews. My husband prays that all Muslims will come to our aid, and I hope for Christians to stand up in their lands and condemn these devils who wear come to do us great harm.

I hope this letter will awaken some to understand that we do not want the Americans here and we will do all we can to drive them out and we will not rest until they are all gone.

Go home to your wives, your children, to your loved ones, do not stay here to torture and kill us, for us if stay, God will surely punish you and your country and you will lose your limbs, your life and also eventually your souls, your families and you will end us with nightmares and sickness from the Depleted Uranium and your own sense of guilt for having killed Iraqis for the devil himself, George W. Bush - may he be damned unto hell itself and burn eternally.

  • They will not go home! The only way to get rid of the American and coalition occupants is to impose civil disobedience.
    Nobody in Iraq should work with American or coalition forces. Huge demonstrations in all towns to show the world it is the Iraqi people who want them to go.

    Vietnam is an example how resistance can work, in order to get rid of the American cancer.

    All groups should work together to oust corruptive Iraqi politicans (those like the current oil minister).

    You have any right to be free.

    • Wow, I never thought that anyone would describe democracy as a cancer. Maybe we did go about this all wrong. What we should have done was take out Saddam and put in another strongman who was as vicious as he was but likes Americans and hates Europeans. That way he can continue to dictate and make the Iraqis suffer and he can piss off the european leaders. That’s how the french have been doing things all along. That’s how we should have been doing it. We can give him all the weapons he wants that may someday bomb the cities of europe and we can get all the oil we want at a discount. We’ve really been doing this whole thing all wrong.

  • I don’t recall Sister Meriam being elected by Iraq’s 30,000,000 people to speak for them. She is an educator, she says, but if she held any position of authority before the invasion, she was a good Ba’athist.

    Maybe SHE was safe in the streets, but these people weren’t:

  • I guess you America-haters take "Sister Meriam" at her word that she’s truly an Iraqi.
    Sister Meriam, it would be poetic justice if Saddam came back, knocked on your door in the middle of the night, and took your husband and sons away, never to be seen again. THat would be poetic justice for what you have said above. The sacrifices that American and Coalition troops have made to give you freedom, madam. Sorry you don’t appreciate it.

  • I agree! No one should cooperate with these occupiers. Only when the going gets real tough will they get out.
    The Iraqi’s are intelligent people and they deserve THEIR Country back....NOW!!
    Noone in the U.S. could survive 1 month without power and water, never mind 2 years!
    God Bless the poor, helpless, Iraqi’s!!
