Iraqi children are dying
To the editor, Like most Muslims in the world, I feel for the Iraqi children who are dying in Iraq due to sanctions imposed very unfairly by the United Nations. Things like aspirin, milk, dialysis machines, vaccinations, plactic cups, toilet paper, and even X-ray machines are considered to be a threat to national security. Hospitals do surgeries without anesthesia. I hate Saddam Hussein, the United Nations, along with all the ignorants who do not have any passion for the dying in Iraq. Are Iraqi children less human than yours? During Thanksgiving, we were all thankful for a families to be together, and for the food we ate that night. Iraqi parents were thankful if their children were still breathing. Thanks to Muslim relief organizations, Iraqis are beggining to seek hope. I don't give a damn if Iraq has weapons or not because they were all provided by the U.S. in the first place during the Iran-Iraq war. Basically all members of the UN who have imposed sanctions have NO HONOR, NO VALUE, NO SENSE OF HUMANITY, but thanks to the military presence in Saudi Arabia the oil prices are low, and the world economy is not as bad as it would be with high oil prices. As a result, the United Nations cares more about MONEY than lives of poor children, just like the League of Nations and Red Cross who did not care for the Jews in concentration camps. The Iraqi civilians are not dying in a gas chamber, but their current life to them is like a "gas chamber." I have nothing against the United States because it has given me the right to practice my religion, live in this country and succeed. That is the beauty of this nation. But I would like the U.S. to share this beauty with the rest of the world. Most likely you the students are the next leaders of the country. So folks make right decisions. In the end, we all will die anyways. At the moment of your last breath, what would you want your God, your people, and others to know about you? Do you want them to hate you or love you for your deeds? If you chose the second, then thank you, and I know deep down inside you love the Iraqi children. All we need for all is Love.
