I was stunned by what I learned from that hearing. Blackwater has a free run in Iraq, a run freer than what the American army has there. Here is a security contractor which has ostensibly been hired to spare the American army from carrying out non-combat but highly dangerous roles. In framing the contract the American State Department saw to it that the contractors got a great deal of protection for what they might do in Iraq and there have been all sorts of insulation from prosecution and anything that might be detrimental to their interests.

In fact the Terrorist CEO of this Terror organization kept saying during the hearing that he was not apologizing for whatever his people did in Iraq. And he, I think is mighty right. Why would he? The contract protects him and his people from any prosecution or questioning by the Iraqi government! The government of the very country they claim they are inside to protect and help in forming a true democratic set up there! And yet the same govt. cannot bring Blackwater to task for its terrorist misdeeds in Iraq. The rights of its own citizens do not matter more than the rights of the terror organization to make a mockery of everything the Iraqi government holds dear for the good of its people.

From what I was able to gather from the proceedings I must say that whatever Blackwater has been doing in some way is right, but in the same token I think such a tendency on the part of the Iraqis to protect their country’s wealth is more right than what the American terror organization does in Iraq. I mean if the Americans who have invaded a country in total defiance of the UN and the opinion of the international community can kill Iraqis and get away with it like what Blackwater has been handed out then why should not the Iraqis have the same right to protect themselves against armies of oil snatchers?

If anyone who reads about the first hand treatment by law handed out to the Terror Organisation Blackwater he or she will agree that such a thing will be possible only in an Arab country against Arabs and Muslims. They will never dare send Blackwater into Myanmar where China will kick them in their butts or in Israel where pals that they are the Israelis will not hesitate to use Atomic Weapons against them or anyone else.

I think the Arabs are the most wronged nation of the 20^th Century and this fact history will reveal in more stark detail after some more decades. The world has been brought to its knees and countries and their diplomats are having to speak lies day in and day out under the garb of ‘diplomatic language’ when all the while it is all about protecting one’s interests. It is all about interests, interests and interests. And the interests of everyone else must always be subservient to those of the US’s.

I don’t think the International community will take this any longer and allow America to invade sovereign nations with impunity.

Disgusting, disgusting, disgusting! Shame on the leaders who have sent their troops for Iraq!
