A message to Cindy Sheehan I realize how tragic your loss is and I know how much pain there is crushing your heart and I know the darkness that suddenly came to wrap your life and wipe away your dreams and I do feel the heat of your tears that won't dry until you find the answers to your question; why you lost your loved one?
I have heard your story and I understand that you have the full right to ask people to stand by your side and support your cause. At the beginning I told myself, this is yet another woman who lost a piece of her heart and the questions of war, peace and why are killing her everyday. To be frank to you the first thing I thought of was like "why should I listen or care to answer when there are thousands of other women in America, Iraq and Afghanistan who lost a son or a husband or a brother…”
But today I was looking at your picture and I saw in your eyes a persistence, a great pain and a torturing question; why?
I know how you feel Cindy, I lived among the same pains for 35 years but worse than that was the fear from losing our loved ones at any moment. Even while I'm writing these words to you there are feelings of fear, stress, and sadness that interrupt our lives all the time but in spite of all that I'm sticking hard to hope which if I didn't have I would have died years ago.
Ma'am, we asked for your nation's help and we asked you to stand with us in our war and your nation's act was (and still is) an act of ultimate courage and unmatched sense of humanity. Our request is justified, death was our daily bread and a million Iraqi mothers were expecting death to knock on their doors at any second to claim someone from their families. Your face doesn't look strange to me at all; I see it everyday on endless numbers of Iraqi women who were struck by losses like yours.
Our fellow country men and women were buried alive, cut to pieces and thrown in acid pools and some were fed to the wild dogs while those who were lucky enough ran away to live like strangers and the Iraqi mother was left to grieve one son buried in an unfound grave and another one living far away who she might not get to see again.
We did nothing to deserve all that suffering, well except for a dream we had; a dream of living like normal people do.
We cried out of joy the day your son and his comrades freed us from the hands of the devil and we went to the streets not believing that the nightmare is over. We practiced our freedom first by kicking and burning the statues and portraits of the hateful idol who stole 35 years from the life of a nation. For the first time air smelled that beautiful, that was the smell of freedom.
The mothers went to break the bars of cells looking for the ones they lost 5, 12 or 20 years ago and other women went to dig the land with their bare hand searching for a few bones they can hold in their arms after they couldn't hold them when they belonged to a living person.
I recall seeing a woman on TV two years ago, she was digging through the dirt with her hands. There was no definite grave in there as the whole place was one large grave but she seemed willing to dig the whole place looking for her two brothers who disappeared from earth 24 years ago when they were dragged from their colleges to a chamber of hell.
Her tears mixed with the dirt of the grave and there were journalists asking her about what her brothers did wrong and she was screaming "I don't know, I don't know. They were only college students. They didn't murder anyone, they didn't steal, and they didn't hurt anyone in their lives. All I want to know is the place of their grave".
Why was this woman chosen to lose her dear ones? Why you? Why did a million women have to go through the same pain?
We did not choose war for the sake of war itself and we didn't sacrifice a million lives for fun! We could've accepted our jailor and kept living in our chains for the rest of our lives but it's freedom ma'am. Freedom is not an American thing and it's not an Iraqi thing, it's what unites us as human beings. We refuse all kinds of restrictions and that's why we fought and still fighting everyday in spite of the swords in the hands of the cavemen who want us dead or slaves for their evil masters.
You are free to go and leave us alone but what am I going to tell your million sisters in Iraq? Should I ask them to leave Iraq too? Should I leave too? And what about the eight millions who walked through bombs to practice their freedom and vote? Should they leave this land too? Is it a cursed land that no one should live in? Why is it that we were chosen to live in all this pain, why me, why my people, why you?
But I am not leaving this land because the bad guys are not going to leave us or you to live in peace. They are the same ones who flew the planes to kill your people in New York. I ask you in the name of God or whatever you believe in; do not waste your son's blood. We here have decided to avenge humanity, you and all the women who lost their loved ones. Take a look at our enemy Cindy, look closely at the hooded man holding the sword and if you think he's right then I will back off and support your call.
We live in pain and grief everyday, every hour, every minute; all the horrors of the powers of darkness have been directed at us and I don't know exactly when am I going to feel safe again, maybe in a year, maybe two or even ten; I frankly don't know but I don't want to lose hope and faith.
We are in need for every hand that can offer some help. Please pray for us, I know that God listens to mothers' prayers and I call all the women on earth to pray with you for peace in this world.
Your son sacrificed his life for a very noble cause…No, he sacrificed himself for the most precious value in this existence; that is freedom.
His blood didn't go in vain; your son and our brethren are drawing a great example of selflessness. God bless his free soul and God bless the souls of his comrades who are fighting evil. God bless the souls of Iraqis who suffered and died for the sake of freedom. God bless all the freedom lovers on earth.
No doubt! Time to send it to some talk-shows hosts...
This message has gotten lost amidst all the anti-war rhetoric. I'm glad the Iraqi blogger included the vivid reminder. I hope the Iraqi people are stronger than the leftist Saddam sympathizers and give him his due when the time comes. (But when is that time? Did they decide on life imprisonment without a trial?)
If you think it's bad now, just wait until after the inevitable book deal and made-for-TV movie.
ouch...that is so sick.
Thank you!

This letter was written by the author of Iraq The Model blog. (http://iraqthemodel.blogspot.com/) He is not so "unknown" as one might think, since Instapundit links to him often. Go check out his site and support his blogosphere standing with some link-love.

good one
Wow, big shock there! I have drawn heat on FR in the past when I say that I applaud the people who leave (or cheat on) poor spouses and find a better, more compatible romantic companion.
I hope those folks see what I mean now.
Note the smile on her *#%!!% face.
BRAVO!!
Thank you, tx.
Iraq the Model has become one of the most famous blogs out of Iraq. It's run by two young dentists who learned english because all medical studies are in english over there. Their english has improved greatly over the past two years. When they first started, they were in horrible danger, but they posted because they thought it was important to write what was happening to their country. They were stunned when they became so popular.
On the first anniversay of the liberation Mohammad posted his diary from the previous year, duringand leading up to the liberation. Facinating!
Amen
Great post..Thank you for serving our country.
"It get's very frustrating having been there and then coming back to the world being told that what we are doing there is a lie."
Yes, it was the same for us, returning from Vietnam,
we didn't know how to confront them then......now we do,
and we ARE.
We will not let them get away with what happened last time,
as a consequence, they are in confused disarray, they don't
know how to deal with someone who won't accept their world
view.
We must continue to confront them and bring the truth to
our nation.

Her tears mixed with the dirt of the grave and there were journalists asking her about what her brothers did wrong and she was screaming "I don't know, I don't know. They were only college students. They didn't murder anyone, they didn't steal, and they didn't hurt anyone in their lives.”
And they didn't have the freedom of expression Cindy enjoys. Her lack of understanding reflects the stupidity these leftist opportunists are so proud of: “Bush killed my son” “this is a war for oil” “American imperialism and abuse of power.” This woman enjoys the freedoms Iraqis didn't have during Saddam's regime – but what does she care? She's using the death of her son for her own benefit.
What does she want? The terrorists to go free so they can kill more men like her son?
These people better get themselves together, because they sure as hell don't understand a damned thing.
Sorry for the language, but I am just sick to death of the leftists of this country who have no clue as to what is going on out there.
These terrorists aim to kill Americans. It doesn't matter if its in Iraq, or the United States.
The leftists don't want to admit the truth even if they themselves get killed. How brainwashed are these people? So sad.
And that is exactly what Cindy is doing in an attempt to help filth like Michael Moore. Her choice, not mine.....
Good will prevail.
Reading about the freeping that went on in Crawford today. IrishGOP stated that at Mass the priest talked about the herorism of Sheehan.
I wish these people would get their facts straight instead of spouting half truths.
Amazing...
