Yaum al-Jumua 14th Rabi al-Awwal 1429
Bismillah ar Rahmaan ar Raheem,
As salaam alaikum wa rahmaatuulahhi wa baraakaatuu,
I supported the war in the Iraq. Scratch that, I supported the removal of Sadaam. It sickens me that some actually look at Sadaam as hero, but that is another post. I don’t know where my head was at during the invasion of Afghanistan, and I was too young to really understand the brutality of the West’s form of war during Gulf War 1.
When I started seeing the shock and awe of US war policy and the mistreatment of Iraqi POWs I knew I would never be able to support the US in any war while they employ these tactics.
I don’t know how some one can think that the invasion of Iraq was a good thing. What have we gained with the loss of life on both sides? What have we gained with the decline of the quality of life in Iraq and the fact that the quality of life may have been better under Sadaam. The financial cost now and in the future to the citizens in the US is nothing compared to what the citizens of Iraq have paid. Both sides have paid too much for nothing.
May Allah forgive us and bring justice to the world.. Ameen!
