13: THE IRAQIS IN IRAQ - BIRDS IN A CAGE
05 November, 2007

SHEIKH SAYYED AYYAD once said on Al Hadeth LBC Monday 11th September, 2006:

“The Iraqi people are like birds that had been born and had lived all their lives in a cage, and whose parents, grand-parents, and great-grand-parents, and great-great-grand-parents Etc, had been born in the cage; and when, suddenly, The USA and Britain, with the help of the coalition forces broke the cage and set them free, they could not fly; for the very simple reason that, they did not know how since they had never flown before!”

Don’t be surprised because nothing escapes Daniel in The Lion’s Den:

Sayyed Ayyad is the kind of Sheikh Islam and Moslems need, since, and because, Sheikh is as Sheikh says and does!

It is true that The USA goofed several times in the past, not only with regards to Iraq but in Afghanistan and Lebanon and a lot of other countries, too. Actually, the war in Iraq was no mistake; it was almost too late – and I say almost because it is never too late for anything until and unless one is dead and buried – and it was too weak – only 140,000 albeit fully armed and equipped troops to cover a country as vast as Iraq. What were they thinking? THEY should have gone in immediately after “Operation Desert Storm” after kicking and chasing Saddam and his goons / hooligans out of Kuwait and finished the job.

However, and but! That is neither here nor there; and that is all water under the bridge now – so to speak!

The fact remains that the Iraqis were worse off under Saddam than they are now and we all know who is causing and/or creating and feeding terrorism and causing death, trouble, chaos and havoc, and instability in Iraq and elsewhere; and why: Osama Bin Ladin and Syria and Iran; and probably Saudi-Arabia and Jordan, too; and all because a Democratic Iraq; and a free, independent, sovereign, and self-governing Lebanon with an army and armed forces to be reckoned with would be highly dangerous threats to their individual systems of government and rule – especially Syria's and Iran's. In Syria, it’s a Dynasty backed and supported by an Oligarchy; and in Iran, it’s a special brand or version of Islamic Rule and/or Law.

Bashar Al Assad has begun to feel the pinch and the bite of the consequences of it all. I quote the following headline in all the local and foreign papers quite some time ago: “Syria imposes stringent VISA limits on Iraqi refugees” Bashar should have known, or someone should have warned him, that what goes round comes round eventually and that it would result in this. Also, the mercenaries and murderers he sent – or allowed to pass through his borders – into Iraq won’t stop or return; they are actually splitting up to form other groups; in other words, dividing and multiplying into separate monsters; each with its own aims or goals and its own ways and means or methods of achieving it – and these refugees and all those that will eventually end up in Syria either won’t be able to, or need to, or want to, return.

He dug a ditch for his neighbour, but ditches have a tendency to spread.
