Letter from the people in Fallujah to Kofi Annan
calling for help to end
the bombardment and prevent the threatened assault

His
Excellency Mr. Kofi Annan Secretary General of the United Nations New York
Fallujah 14 October 2004
Your
Excellency
It is
very obvious that the American forces are committing crimes of genocide every
day in Iraq. Now, while we are writing to Your Excellency, the American forces
are committing these crimes in the city of Fallujah. The American warplanes are
dropping their most powerful bombs on the civilian in the city, killing and
injured hundreds of innocent people. At the same time their tanks are attacking
the city with heavy artillery. As you know, there is no military presence in the
city. There had been no actions taken by the Fallujah resistance in recent weeks
because the negotiations between representatives of the city and the Government
which were going well. In this atmosphere, the new bombardment by America has
happened while the people of Fallujah have been preparing themselves for the
fast of Ramadan. Now many of them are now trapped under the wreckage of their
demolished houses, and nobody can help them while the attack continues.
On
the night of the 13th October alone American bombardment demolished 50 houses on
top of their residents. Is this a genocidal crime or a lesson about the American
democracy? It is obvious that the Americans are committing acts of terror
against the people of Fallujah for one reason only: their refusal to accept the
Occupation.
Your
Excellency and the whole world know that the Americans and their allies
devastated our country under the pretext of the threat of WMD. Now, after all
the destruction and the killing of thousand civilians, they have admitted that
there no weapons were found. But they have said nothing about all the crimes
they committed. Unfortunately everybody is now silent, and will not even dignify
the murdered Iraqi civilians with words of condemnation. Are the Americans going
to pay compensation as Iraq has been forced to do after the Gulf war?
We
know that we are living in world of double standards. In Fallujah, they have
created a new vague target,: AL ZARQAWI. This is a new pretext to justify their
crimes, killing and daily bombardment of civilians. Almost a year has elapsed
since they created this new pretext, and whenever they destroy houses, mosques,
restaurants, and kill children and women they said "we have launched a
successful operation against Al-Zarqawi." They will never say that they have
killed him, because there is no such a person. And that means the killing of
civilian and the daily genocide will continue.
The
people of Fallujah assure you that this person, if he exists, is not in Fallujah
and is probably not anywhere in Iraq. The people of Fallujah have announced many
times that any person who sees Al-Zarqawi should kill him. Now everybody
realises that this man is just a hypothetical hero created by the Americans. At
the same time the representative of Fallujah, our tribal leader, has denounced
on many occasions the kidnapping and killing of civilians, and we have no links
to any groups committing such inhuman behaviour.
Excellency, we appeal to you, and to all world leaders to exert the
greatest pressure on the American administration to stop their crimes in
Fallujah and withdraw their army far away from the city. The city was very quiet
and peaceful when its people ran it. We didn't witness any disorder in the city.
The civil administration was going well given its limited recourses. We simply
didn't welcome the occupation forces. This is our right according to the UN
Charter, international law and the norms of humanity. If the Americans believe
in the opposite, they should first from the UN and all its agencies before
acting in a way contrary to the Charter they signed.
It is
very urgent that your Excellency, along with the world leaders, intervenes in a
speedy manner to prevent a new massacre.
We
have tried to reach your representatives in Iraq, so as to ask them to be more
active in this regard, but as you know they are living in the Green Zone where
we cannot contact them. We want the UN to be involved in the situation in
Fallujah so as to avoid a new massacre.
We
have tried to reach you through different channels and by asking our friends to
convey this letter to your office in New York or Geneva with the hope that it
will reach you. At the same time we appeal to you to urge the UN agencies in
Iraq to take an active role in protecting civilians and preventing the new
massacre which the Americans and the puppet government are planning to start
soon in Fallujah as well as many part of our country.
Best
regards.

WANTED: Al CIAda Mascot for CNN. Must look mean and Arab. Expierience with Firearms a plus. Apply for position a Langley Films Studios Langley Virgina. Anyone not looking Middle Eastern need not apply.
Hey I hear NASA is looking for an Arab to film the next lunar landing. Maybe that Zaqawi guy is availble for it now that his contract with Al CIAduh is up?
On one thread I see you claim to be a leftwing zionist. On another I see you clail to be a Mossad asset. Now, on this one we witness you rale against those people who claim Al Zarqawi was cooked up by the CIA.
Becky, be honest. You are just a vitriolic rightwinger here to cause discontent and trouble, aren't you? It's pretty apparent to me that is what you really are.
Sinc you're obviously either not bright enough to figure it out on your own, or simply unwilling to acknowledge what is being said in this thread, I will break it down Barney style for you.
Al Zarqawi was a nobody. No one ever heard of him until well after we invaded Iraq. Why is that do you suppose? Then all of a sudden this guy shows up on the internet hacking people's heads off with butcher knives, claiming responsibility for blowing up mosques and such, and we're all just supposed to believe this guy is the epitomy of evil muslims and fanatical Islam? Bullcrap.
This guy was either a CIA, Massod, or MI6 loser, or else he was one of Hussein's boys gone rogue. But either way, he was just a psyc-operative established to give Americans someone to hate, and a milestone to accomplish (his death).
Now that he's gone, we've got no one left in Iraq to go after, so either the CIA has got to cook us up another villain, or the troops got to be coming home. One or the other.
"No one ever heard of him until well after we invaded Iraq."
Wrong. The CIA and several other intel agencies were well aware of him well before we went into Iraq. YOU may never have heard of him, but that's your shortcoming. You're simply ignornat of the facts.
In other news: Leftists call for Day of Mourning to honor the death of their hero, Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi.
Oh I remember that guy.
He was sawing off the head of Nick Berg.
ha ha ha ha ha ha
that piece of psyops shit sure stuck to the wall.
Not.
You know, for a guy with a missing leg he sure was dancing around during the decapitation of a existing corpse.
In Abu Gharibe, with Russian speaking, well fed. gold jewelry wearing 'terrorists'.
