'Room Enough'

The Iraqi reporters in McClatchy's Baghdad bureau are contributing to a blog called Inside Iraq. Before you take Georgie's or Tony's or Dicky's word for just how swell things are going in the hellhole they created, consider the perspective of people who have no reason to lie.

Democracy and freedom for the Iraqi people!

I issue an invitation to Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld.

Come; experience first hand the democracy you brought us.

Come; partake of the freedom you so generously taught us.

Come, I will offer you my home, there is room enough.

I had a brother. He was killed; coinage for your democracy. (11.Aug, 2005 – 52 yrs)

I had a son. He was killed; coinage for your freedom. (3 Dec, 2005 – 18 yrs)

I had a nephew. He was killed; coinage to ease your inflated ego. (12 Feb, 2007 – 30 yrs)

Come, there is room enough in my home to accommodate you; but there is no room in my heart to accommodate your lame excuses.

Come, all those who participated in wounding our hearts; come; there are more than half a million places vacant of their occupants, we will accommodate you.

There is room enough.
