The Art
of the
End of War
.........We rumbled into various neighborhoods in south Baghdad.
Nothing was going on. No gun battles. No mushroom clouds from car
bombs or IEDs. I wore the headset and the incessant radio alerts about
units fighting here or there was completely absent. In the old days,
while the Iraq war was hot, there was constant chatter about fighting,
car bombs, snipers, name it. Today, there were no alerts at all. There
was more chatter about the Kenyan sitting in front of me who had been in
the Army for a couple years. The other soldiers said he should get
automatic citizenship for volunteering to fight, and we all agreed. The
soldier came straight from Kenya into our Army. Did not even pass GO,
and suddenly was in Iraq.
On another day, I had lunch with a soldier from Ghana. He told me that
Ghana has the same constitution as the United States, and that he was
proud to join the American Army. He had become an American, to which I
said, “Welcome aboard.” He had one of those Ghana accents and was black
as coal. By the time he finished telling me about his homeland, I was
sold on wanting to travel there someday.
“Are Americans welcome?” I asked.
“Sure!” He seemed to think the question was humorous for its simplicity
about Ghana. He said that American soldiers in Ghana are treated like
kings, and if anyone gives a hassle, a U.S. soldier has only to show his
military ID, and the clouds all disappear. The soldier from Ghana told
me that when he goes home on leave, the police actually salute him
because he joined the American army. I was incredulous, and asked for
reassurance, “Really?! They salute you?”
“Yes,” he said, with that funny Ghana accent. “They Salute American
soldiers in Ghana! They love America and many Americans retire there.”
Sounded like Kurdish Iraq, where the kids ask soldiers for autographs,
and even ask interpreters for autographs if they work for American
soldiers........................
............Al Qaeda was handed a vicious defeat in Iraq, and it can be
said with great certainty that most Iraqis hate al Qaeda even more than
Americans do. Al Qaeda can continue to murder Iraqis for now, but al
Qaeda will be hard pressed to ever plant their flag in another Iraqi
city. The Iraqi army and police have become far too strong and
organized, and the Iraqis will eventually strangle al Qaeda to death.
I still find people in America, Nepal, Thailand, UAE and other countries
who believe al Qaeda propaganda that they attack us because we support
Israel or occupy Muslim holy land. This would not explain the
decapitated Iraqi children I photographed when locals told me al Qaeda
did it. This would not explain the Iraqi children al Qaeda has blown
up, or the Afghans and Pakistanis killed by al Qaeda, or the Africans
who are murdered by the same cult of serial killers. Did those
decapitated children in the Iraqi village even know where America or
Israel are? What about the Shia mosques they destroyed in Iraq? Were
they occupying Saudi Arabia or supporting Israel?
The streets that I was this day patrolling with Iraqi National Police
and soldiers from 10th Mountain Division, were once controlled by al
Qaeda. Al Qaeda had intentionally stoked the fires of civil war in
Iraq................
