The American-funded Arabic television station, Al-Hurra, recently interviewed a number of American-loving Kuwaitis and Iraqi Kurds concerning the abuse of Iraqis in Abu Ghraib.
They all called the abuse a minor incidents compared to what happened during the rule of Saddam Hussein. None of the American-lovers from the Gulf criticized the shameful acts inside Abu Ghraib.
It was American-loving Gulf citizens who were silent about American crimes during the Gulf war when 10,000 Iraqi soldiers were buried by bulldozers in their trenches in the Iraqi desert. Those were not considered mass graves nor were the Americans held accountable.
It is the American-loving Gulf citizens who continue to dance and rejoice at the killing and humiliation of the Iraqi people and to seem pleased whenever a new discovery of mass graves near Basra or Baghdad is announced.
It doesn’t matter if in fact the remains are Iraqi soldiers killed during the war with Iran and buried in marked graves known to international organizations. The remains dug up by the British and Americans are also described as mass graves for Iraqis killed by Saddam.
Why have the American-loving Gulf citizens been silent about the killings and mutilations in Fallujah, Karbala and Najaf, at the deaths of more than two million Iraqi men, women and children during more than 12 years of economic boycott during which the Iraqis were denied even medical supplies? Why were the graves where those men, women and children were buried in Baghdad, Basra, Amara, Najaf, Kufa, Karbala and Mosul considered mass graves while no mass graves were ever discovered in Kurdish areas which were spared the effect of sanctions because they were under American protection? When the Americans dug up the bodies of Iraqi children who died during sanctions, our American-loving Gulf citizens celebrated the discovery of mass graves.
No one said these were in fact graves of Iraqi children who died from lack of milk and medicines and who were the victims of nuclear and chemical radiation caused by American bombers.
The American-loving Gulf citizens continue their silence over the mass graves being created by the Americans and the British in the current war against Iraq in which tens of thousands of Iraqi soldiers have been killed and whole divisions buried in the desert and civilian areas destroyed with their residents buried in rubble.
These were later called mass graves and attributed to Saddam.
Those who rejoice over the suffering and humiliation of Iraqis should remember that Iraq will always be there, a geographical, historical and cultural reality.
They should remember that a day will come when the occupiers will leave, with history consigning them to oblivion and that only the people of Iraq, Arabs and Kurds, will remain
