IRAQIS: YOU NEED TO RISE UP AND FIGHT!

By Schuyler Thorpe
Author and Political Activist


It’s official people: The Iraqis are arming themselves.

Not the ill-equipped and under trained security forces of Iraq, but the civilians themselves.

231 years ago, Colonial citizens did the same against British forces in their fight for independence against the Crown of England. They spent years fighting a bloody conflict which gave birth to the United States of America.

Unlike that revolution, the one being fought inside Iraq isn’t for freedom, liberty, independence, or unity.

But survival.

Iraq’s government has been a colossal failure by far in Bush’s model for change and democracy in the Middle East.

The citizens are being threatened by all sides of the conflict: From foreign elements of Al-Qaeda and other groups, to the so-called Coalition of the Willing which is comprised of the ever-shrinking forces of the US-led coalition.

And since Iraq’s own security forces cannot bring peace and stability to Iraq, it’s up to the citizens of that country to take matters into their own hands and bring and end to the bloodshed that has plagued Iraq since 2003.

Take out the foreign elements that saturate your soil! Take out those who continue to impede and marginalize you in every which way!

Take out those occupation forces whom continue to deliver more pain and agony unto your neighbors, your children, and your children’s children–instead of those lofty promises of reconstruction, prosperity, and security which has been in short supply for several years now!

Do whatever it takes to give yourselves hope and promise for a better tomorrow!

Rise up and fight! Rise up and take back your beleaguered country!

Fight! Fight! Fight!
