I think that it is time that the Allied soldiers should say that they are sorry to the Iraqi people! They should tell them they're sorry for having to break into the sanctity of their homes because they are looking for guns that people are trying to use to kill them. They should tell them they are sorry that they can't speak their language so that they could find out where the guns are. They should say that they are sorry if they demolish their homes because they've rented them out for free to people that use them to shoot them while they are on patrol. They should say they are sorry that the reconstruction is taking so long. They should say they are sorry for trying to keep the other people in the country from killing them. They should be sorry that they are arresting and imprisoning their own troops because they are abusing people under their authority. They should say they are sorry that corruption is a human trait. They should say that they are sorry for not giving the Iraqis everything that they can't get at home for themselves, quickly enough.They should be sorry for trusting that the scenes that are used, while they are invading their houses, would look like something other than the Nazi Jackboot tactics that they appear to be. Sorry for not being perfect like the Iraqis. Sorry for not being able to go to the local space to hang out with the neighbourhood folk. Sorry for not being able to be there when the armed free, dumb fighters knock at their door tellimg them to stop talking to the Allies. They should tell them they are sorry that they can't hang out at the basketball court to sink a few with the locals. They should tell them that they are sorry that the distribution systems and their inherent corruption don't let them eat as well they do at their mess halls. They should say that they are sorry for trying to let them educate themselves and their families by giving them the means with which to do it. They should say that they are sorry for not bringing their Iraqi friends back home with them when their tour is over. They should be sorry that the sewage system takes so long to get up and running let alone sorry for trying to teach people how to keep it running. They should say that they are sorry that there is no Thursday night recycling pick-ups. They should be sorry that they can't sit around enjoying the Simpsons on television in the local coffee shop. They should tell them they are sorry that there are no Wall Marts in the area having special sales of gas operated electrical generators.
When are the Allies going to start saying that they are sorry for what they are doing in Iraq. It's about time that they say, emphatically that they are giving the Iraquis a heartfelt "Sorry" for being there.
SAY YOU ARE SORRY... NOW!
